Starring Michael Caine and Brendan Fraser, The Quiet American is already gaining incredible buzz -- including a Golden Globe nomination for Caine (Best Actor, Drama). This enchanting film is directed by Phillip Noyce (Rabbit-Proof Fence; The Bone Collector; Clear and Present Danger) and is adapted from one of Graham Greene’s best-loved novels. 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 naïve 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 (October 2, 1904 Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire – April 3, 1991 Vevey, Switzerland) was a prolific English novelist, playwright, short story writer and critic whose works explore the ambiguities of modern man in a contemporary setting. Some of his best works, like Brighton Rock and The Power and the Glory, are explicitly Roman Catholic in content and preoccupations. Others he termed "entertainments", although many of them likewise deal with ambivalent moral or political issues which had earned him a worldwide readership and following.

“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...
评分早从中国大陆要出版Lolita就闻知主万的翻译很不怎么样,但是因为本身对纳博科夫并不感冒,倒也没有在意。毕竟国内好的翻译家为数寥寥,而且除非是翻译从业者,也很少有人会特别重视文学翻译者。毕竟像傅雷那种身兼翻译家以及文学研究学者,并享受盛名的人并不多。扯远了,只是...
评分忙于杂事久不看书,从上海到北京的火车上看完《安静的美国人》,骤然想起我当年匆匆忙忙写就的硕士论文British Imperial Literature“英国帝国小说”,这是我自己当年找了许久理论未遂后生造的一个词语,试图探讨英国文学在遭遇前现代国家后创造的“帝国叙事”从外在的好奇、友...
在韩江边上的咖啡馆心有旁骛地读了一个下午,时不时看看门外的江水,飞驰电掣的摩托车,要不就是看站在门边给客人开门关门的小哥,像普鲁斯特形容巴尔贝克海滩酒店门童,像是一株植物。至于书嘛,致郁系丧。
评分First Graham Greene book I read. Life is full of struggles. “Human nature is not black and white but black and grey.” You’d be amazed how love has so many forms and shapes.
评分Everyone thinks he’s innocent.
评分闾丘推荐的,已经看了一半,但是还没有完全明白主题
评分其实他只是想讲,战争中,你不可能没有立场。但是一旦选择了立场,就意味着牺牲与死亡。什么爱情什么金钱,全都是虚的
