Gabriel Syme is a man in revolt-a revolt into sanity. He is a poet turned police officer, an advocate of order who attends an anarchist meeting and is elected to the role of Thursday, one of the seven members of the Central Council, under the leadership of Sunday, a mysterious figure whose real purpose is hidden till the end.Written at a time when Chesterton was wrestling with his own doubts, The Man Who Was Thursday, in his own words, was not intended to describe the real world as it was, or as I thought it was, even when my thoughts were considerably less settled than they are now. It was intended to describe the world of wild doubt and despair which the pessimists were generally describing at that date; with just a gleam of hope in some double meaning of the doubt, which even the pessimists felt in some fitful fashion.The Man Who Was Thursday works both as a thriller and as a novel of ideas, pulling the reader along for a roller coaster ride of turns and revelations to the end.
