Product Details
Chesterton's book The Man Who Was Thursday is an interesting study on two great theological mysteries which are the freedom of will and the existence of irrational evil. The Man Who Was Thursday looks at the idea presented by St. Augustine and many other theologians of all faiths that "man's freedom to do evil things is the price we pay for freedom". Helpful aides to reading The Man Who Was Thursday are the introduction in the front which analyzes and explains some parts and characters of the book, the annotations by Martin Gardner which give further explanation and the appendix in the back which has comments from Chesterton himself. Many consider The Man Who Was Thursday to be one of Chesterton's best novels and critics say Gardner has made it possible for readers to study and enjoy this great work in a whole new way.
This edition of Chesterton's masterpiece and most famous novel, The Man Who Was Thursday, explicates and enriches the complete text with extensive footnotes. Martin Gardner sees the novel's anarchists as symbols of our God-given free will, and the mysterious Sunday as representing Nature, with its strange mixture of good and evil when considered as distinct from God, as a mask hiding the transcendental face of the creator. The Man Who Was Thursday also includes a bibliography listing the novel's many earlier editions and stage dramatizations, as well as numerous illustrations that further illuminate the text.
