The Annotated Thursday. Ignatius List Price: $17.95 Member’s Price: $14.35 The Man Who Was Thursday, Annotated by Martin Gardner. This is the first edition of Chesterton's masterpiece that explicates and enriches the complete text with extensive footnotes, together with an introductory essay on the metaphysical meaning of Chesterton's profound allegory. Gardner sees the novel's anarchists as symbols of our God-given free will, and the mysterious Sunday as representing Nature, with its strange mixture of good and evil when considered as distinct from God, as a mask hiding the transcendental face of the creator. The book also includes a bibliography listing the novel's many earlier editions and stage dramatizations, as well as numerous illustrations (some by Chesterton) that further illuminate the text.
