'A great writer who spoke brilliantly to a whole generation. Prophet-like' Alec Guinness
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY ZADIE SMITH
Into the intrigue and violence of Indo-China comes Pyle, a young idealistic American sent to promote democracy through a mysterious 'Third Force'. As his naive optimism starts to cause bloodshed, his friend Fowler, a cynical foreign correspondent, finds it hard to stand aside and watch. But even as he intervenes he wonders why: for the sake of politics, or for love?
Graham Greene was born in 1904. On coming down from Balliol College, Oxford, he worked for four years as sub-editor on The Times. He established his reputation with his fourth novel, Stamboul Train. In 1935 he made a journey across Liberia, described in Journey Without Maps, and on his return was appointed film critic of the Spectator. In 1926 he had been received into the Roman Catholic Church and visited Mexico in 1938 to report on the religious persecution there. As a result he wrote The Lawless Roads and, later, his famous novel The Power and the Glory. Brighton Rock was published in 1938 and in 1940 he became literary editor of the Spectator. The next year he undertook work for the Foreign Office and was stationed in Sierra Leone from 1941 to 1943. This later produced the novel The Heart of the Matter, set in West Africa.
As well as his many novels, Graham Greene wrote several collections of short stories, four travel books, six plays, three books of autobiography - A Sort of Life, Ways of Escape and A World of My Own (published posthumously) - two of biography and four books for children. He also contributed hundreds of essays, and film and book reviews, some of which appear in the collections Reflections and Mornings in the Dark. Many of his novels and short stories have been filmed and The Third Man was written as a film treatment. Graham Greene was a member of the Order of Merit and a Companion of Honour. He died in April 1991.

评分Graham Greene果然是讲故事的高手,也是为数不多的在讨论信仰和宗教时不让人反感的作家,在讨论战争,爱情和友情的时候也是把火候掌握的很好,如他一直重复说的那样,In wars as well as in love it's almost impossible to be disengaged.
“非常好看的一本书,各种意义上都非常好看的一本书。”读完格雷厄姆·格林《安静的美国人》,我不假思索,便写下上述这段近乎词穷的文字。然后便是唏嘘,相见恨晚,接下来,更是不遗余力地将其推荐给身边的文字爱好者,一遍又一遍。 关于格林21次与诺贝尔文学奖的纠缠无果,虽...
评分 评分 评分格林把自己的作品分为“严肃小说”和“消遣小说”。但读者怎能纯粹地用一本毫无通常惊险小说人物脸谱化的缺点,故事背景又笃实可信的作品消遣起来?他的严肃小说又总和谍战、凶杀、战争联系起来,情节抓眼的让你恨不得一口气读完。。。他的消遣小说未免太过严肃,严肃小说又有...
