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.

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.
人生真是处处充满惊喜,刚对英国人下了个刻板定义,“一群疯子”,扭头却发现自己最喜欢的作家个个都是英国人。从中学时迷恋过的勃朗特姐妹,到后来的毛姆,再到奈保尔,到这本一口气看完的《安静的美国人》的作者格雷厄姆·格林,个个都是英国人。抛开几乎一直在闺中的勃朗特...
评分有一个时期我很不喜欢关于热带地区的文学和电影。但格雷厄姆*格林,这个固执的旅行家非要把人拽到南北回归线中间不可。《权力与荣耀》令我又开始回忆赫尔佐格或布努艾尔,光滑如蜡的棕黄色皮肤、塌鼻子和厚嘴唇与汗淋淋的白人演员,或者西部片里纬度低一些的场景中出现的一...
评分格雷厄姆.格林,陪跑诺贝尔奖21次,比大家熟知的村上春树次数要久,比一直希望得到奥斯卡的迪卡普里奥时间要长,但这丝毫不影响他在世界文坛的地位。 在谈到为什么格林总是获不了奖的原因时,诺奖评委阿图尔•朗科维斯说: 三十年前,他曾经给我留下了深刻的印象。但是格林太...

评分《文静的美国人》。作者格雷厄姆.格林,一个英国人,写冒充通俗的小说,字里行间有着深镂进骨头里的刻薄,丝丝往外冒着寒气。 此故事的外包装亦非常通俗化,掺杂政治、悬疑、爱情、侦探等因素,地点选择在第一次越战期间的西贡,然而,内容却并无其形式那般吸引人,太多人物心...
看似无辜的人,用了最残忍的方式去证明自己的理念;看似无害的人,为了苟且残存用身体做资本;看似懦弱老道的人,最后还是没有办法逃避真相的冲击。 2015年读的这本书,现在想再读一下了。
评分我感觉如果不是在这样的非常时刻,我可能能更加静下心来阅读这本书。或者如果换个朗读者也能好很多。可能去看一遍电影。
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.
评分喜欢关于Fowler飞行的那一段,日落时分,他从天空中往下看,看到红河和沱江,他说,这时候沱江(黑河)已经不那么浑了,红河上闪着金光。
