G.K. Chesterton was a brilliant English writer, theologian, and thinker, best known for his sharp wit, deep insight, and imaginative storytelling. He wrote across many genres—essays, detective fiction, theology, and fantasy—and influenced writers like C.S. Lewis and Neil Gaiman. The Man Who Was Thursday is one of his most famous and unusual works.
