Originally published in 1908, G.K. Chesterton’s classic nightmare-mystery-fantasy of Police vs. Dynamiters, Law vs. Anarchy and Religion vs. Nihilism has influenced writers as diverse as Franz Kafka and C.S. Lewis, and remains as exuberant and imaginative, as original and prophetic as when if first appeared.
