Chesterton's critics labeled him- devotional, impious, confounding, intelligent, humorous, bombastic - he wove into \u003ci\u003eThe Man Who Was Thursday\u003c\/i\u003e. This page-turner sends characters bobbing around a delightfully confusing plot of mythic proportions.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story begins when two poets meet. Gabriel Syme is a poet of law. Lucian Gregory is a poetic anarchist. As the poets protest their respective philosophies, they strike a challenge. In the ruckus that ensues, the Central European Council of Anarchists elects Syme to the post of Thursday, one of their seven chief council positions. Undercover. On the run, Syme meets with Sunday, the head of the council, a man so outrageously mysterious that his antics confound both the law-abiding and the anarchist.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWho is lawful? Who is immoral? Such questions are strangely in the presence of Sunday. He is wholly other. He is above the timeless questions of humanity and also somehow behind them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn EChristian, Inc production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DINE ALONE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47106054750448,"sku":"2940172412974","price":14.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940172412974_p0.jpg?v=1763834744","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940172412974","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
