,, He despises any government abolishes all conventions. The poet delights only in the chaos. If this were not true, najpoetyczniejszą thing in the world would be underground railways " Before you read this review, take a warm, British, and let's drink tea with Mr. GK Chesterton, who this time tells us his story, Man Who Was Thursday ".
(the health of Mr. Chesterton! )
In his book The author reveals himself as a favorite for England, but his sense of humor and a tendency to describe the absurdity makes its home country can be everything to happen (of course, cards book.) We meet two poets, among whom one (Gregory) is an anarchist. Has gone through many transformations in the search for good,, mask (for example, was a bishop, or a millionaire), but in this one fully discovered. Second - Syme, it is plain it might seem a poet. What's so maybe? In the background you hear about secret meeting of anarchists, among which will be Sunday, also known as Bloody Sunday (all members bear names derived from the fact weekdays). There is something else - recently died Thursday and his place will need a second candidate. About this job Gregory tries to, but if his plans can thwart new colleague, who as it turns out, is a member of police intelligence. Both previously were not aware of these things myself. Here he meets the anarchist and a policeman, right is to be the world's largest collection of anarchist organization, and they had not yet sworn in knowing that we do not betray their secrets. What an irony ... Ahead of us the way towards knowing the truth, and probably do not need to say that the poor Gregory was not a Thursday (and guess who)? :)
Chesterton in the whole book astonished by the sudden and surprising twists. What we know about the characters, is rapidly and causes a limitation that our worldview has changed 180 degrees just to turn up again several times. The reader may inquire about the spin of what is about to happen, but the idea probably will change. ,, Not with me the numbers, Chesterton "- would like to say, but simply in the world can not." Well, you have enough exhaustion, which is contrary to logic, even very good. This is the part of many loves Chesterton - the uniqueness of his books.
Okay, but if anyone has heard of,, policemen - philosophers, artists who are staying in the meetings to provide crime of reading the sonnets? "I have not heard, but in the book they appear, and however well they live and work (not to mention already the world's leading anarchists, who thought of saying, darkest under a lamp, sit on the balcony in a very prominent position and dressed in suits, sipping his tea devising wicked plans - obviously not wanting to cause suspicion of passersby).
absurdities There are many, but the events are so smooth that a man without a bit of imagination in one corner of the brain, the other with a sense of humor, and with a smile on his lips, you may feel slightly lost (but do not be afraid, this book is simply great and my review probably does not make the full splendor of this.)
plot seems simple, but due to the quantity of sudden twists and turns, someone could tell me straight in the eye: "What are you talking about." The way forward these events, however, is unique. Chesterton has a gift niezanudzania the reader in his mouth probably even multi-volume history of ancient Egypt, it would sound like a bedtime story, and each succeeding Pharaoh - how good or bad knight warlock. The plot, unfortunately, nothing more I can not say because it is so delicate, like a morning flower, and I do not want to destroy it. You have to read yourself to see the events and then most will know what I mean. If I summarized the main thread, the whole fun of the resulting book would be negligible.
Last page hold so strongly in voltage that can not be straight away (if cooking on gas, milk, or a few minutes you have to go somewhere - you just do not read then, because you are late or smother the smell of burnt milk). Here, everything is explained, and what the reader prater in my head - any theory or an idea for an explanation of events - everything is dropped and repaired in a truly epic way. This latter part meant that fell in love with this book, and she conquered me straight. Everything is here odkłamane, and emerges from the depths of the science of the sense of suffering, the role of good and evil. The latter camouflage, but it is not able to cover what is created as good and pure. It is these last chapters show the beautiful vision of Christianity, which, together with the lightness of feathers, flowing from Chesterton (and to some extent, speak of God). I did not expect such treatment, especially since the book seemed to me a little bit political, social and even a little. ,, A living man, "this writer was once surprised, but this position is as strong for me rooted to the ground in a chair and choke a British tea ... and that laugh Chesterton, who could say, "Do not judge a book before its not finished !..." ,,(...) Do you want me to explain to you the secrets of the world? It consists in the fact that we are watching only his back. For everything we see from the back and that is why everything seems brutal to us. What we see is not a tree but the tree back, and this cloud, 'tis is only the left side of the cloud. Are not you noticed that everything turns away from us, and hides his face? "If we could get from the left side and look ...".
