«El hombre que fue Jueves» is the novel by Gilbert Keith Chesterton, published by Editorial Seix Barral in hardcover (219 pages, in Spanish).
The poet Gabriel Syme infiltrates an anarchist society in early twentieth-century London as a detective. Its leaders use names of days of the week and answer to the enigmatic Sunday. Amid chases, hidden identities and humor, the novel combines police suspense with a philosophical allegory about order and chaos.
Work originally published in 1908. This 1984 edition belongs to the collection «Obras Maestras de la Literatura Contemporánea» (no. 57), with translation by Alfonso Reyes.
A read for those who enjoy classics of English literature with intrigue, humor and philosophical depth.
