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.

評分这部由英国作家写的关于美国人的小说在英美两国遭到了截然不同的对待。 在英国,这部小说很受欢迎,地位颇高,曾两度被改编成电影(1958年和2002年),主演Michael Caine还因此获得了最佳演员提名。 然而,1956年这部小说在美国出版后,被广泛谴责为“反美”。《纽约客》批评它...

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.

评分我感覺如果不是在這樣的非常時刻,我可能能更加靜下心來閱讀這本書。或者如果換個朗讀者也能好很多。可能去看一遍電影。
评分看似無辜的人,用瞭最殘忍的方式去證明自己的理念;看似無害的人,為瞭苟且殘存用身體做資本;看似懦弱老道的人,最後還是沒有辦法逃避真相的衝擊。 2015年讀的這本書,現在想再讀一下瞭。
评分喜歡關於Fowler飛行的那一段,日落時分,他從天空中往下看,看到紅河和沱江,他說,這時候沱江(黑河)已經不那麼渾瞭,紅河上閃著金光。
