Gilbert Keith Chesterton

Writer

English writer, poet, philosopher, lay theologian and critic (29 May 1874 – 14 June 1936), author of The Man Who Was Thursday and the Father Brown stories.

Born 29 May 1874; died 14 June 1936. Converted to Catholicism in 1922.

The available review praises The Man Who Was Thursday as an enthralling, idea-rich novel set in an everyday English setting. It highlights Chesterton's mix of mystery, humour, philosophy and references to religion. The reviewer calls the book a masterpiece for its combination of readable prose and deep reflection.

For:Readers of classic English literature, philosophical fiction, and detective stories.

 Chesterton places his "Man Who Was Thursday" in a real setting, brazenly everyday, and this is what makes it a novel so (at least in my view) enthralling.
