Description
Der Roman Der Mann, der Donnerstag war ist eine politische Satire, die der Phantastischen Literatur zugerechnet werden kann: Ein Komplott anarchistischer Terroristen am Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts entwickelt sich darin, unter zunehmender Verfremdung der Wirklichkeit, in ein verrückt-göttliches Spektakel. Wie in anderen seiner Schriften wendet sich Chesterton auch in diesem Roman theologisch-philosophischen Fragen zu. (Auszug aus Wikipedia)
