The Man Who Was Thursday (Annotated)

Although the novel is set in the future, this classic novel is, in effect, set in an 'alternate reality' of Chesterton's own period, with no advances in technology or changes in the class system or attitudes. It postulates an impersonal government, not described in any detail, but apparently content to operate through a figurehead king, randomly chosen.

A short biography about the life and times of G.K. Chesterton is also included.
