This is by far Chestertons most well-known and famous novel. Drawing on contemporary fears of anarchist conspiracies and bomb outrages, this text is firmly rooted in its time and place-turn of the century London-but it also defies temporal boundaries. The Council consisting of seven men, each using the name of a day of the week as a code name Syme is given the name of Thursday. Widely considered as Chestertons masterpiece, The Man Who Was Thursday defies classification. Instead of the anarchist Gregory getting elected, the officer Syme uses his wits and is elected as the local representative to the worldwide Central Council of Anarchists. After some time, the frustrated Gregory finds Syme and leads him to a local anarchist meeting-place to prove that he is a true anarchist. Lucian Gregory, an anarchist poet, is the only poet in Saffron Park, until he loses his temper in an argument over the purpose of poetry with Gabriel Syme, who takes the opposite view. In a surreal turn-of-the-century London, Gabriel Syme, a poet, is recruited to a secret anti-anarchist task force at Scotland Yard.

How have these attitudes evolved and how have they shaped the histories of their nations, regions, and the rest of the world? What has happened when they have come into contact with each other? How have they balanced legitimacy and power at different times? What is the condition of each in our contemporary world, and how are they shaping relations between states now? America views itself as a 'city on a hill', a beacon to the world, whose values have universal validity. For over 2000 years the Chinese have seen 'all under Heaven' as being tributary to the Chinese Emperor. Islamic states have looked to their destined expansion over regions populated by unbelievers, a position exemplified today by Iran under the ayatollahs. Since the end of Charlemagne's empire, and especially since the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, Europeans have striven for balance in international affairs, first in their own continent and then globally. Kissinger identifies four great 'world orders' in history - the European, Islamic, Chinese and American. As if taking a perspective from far above the globe, it examines the great tectonic plates of history and the motivations of nations, explaining the attitudes that states and empires have taken to the rest of the world from the formation of Europe to our own times.

Because sometimes hating one another is so easy that it seems incomprehensible that we ever do anything else. We'll end up saying that violence came to Beartown this summer, but that will be a lie the violence was already here. "Have you ever seen a town fall? Ours did. By the time the last game is finally played, a resident of Beartown will be dead, and the people of both towns will be forced to wonder if, after all they’ve been through, the game they love can ever return to something simple and innocent." But bringing this team together proves to be a challenge as old bonds are broken, new ones are formed, and the enmity with Hed grows more and more acute.Īs the big match approaches, the not-so-innocent pranks and incidents between the communities pile up and their mutual contempt grows deeper. Soon a new team starts to take shape around Amat, the fastest player you’ll ever see Benji, the intense lone wolf and Vidar, a born-to-be-bad troublemaker. Amidst the mounting tension between the two rivals, a surprising newcomer is handpicked to be Beartown’s new hockey coach. What makes it worse is the obvious satisfaction that all the former Beartown players, who now play for a rival team in Hed, take in that fact. "After everything that the citizens of Beartown have gone through, they are struck yet another blow when they hear that their beloved local hockey team will soon be disbanded. |
