具体描述
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? (From Goodreads)
作者简介
Henry Graham Greene, OM, CH was an English novelist, short story writer, playwright, screenplay writer, travel writer and critic whose works explore the ambivalent moral and political issues of the modern world. Greene combined serious literary acclaim with wide popularity.
Although Greene objected strongly to being described as a “Catholic novelist” rather than as a “novelist who happened to be Catholic,” Catholic religious themes are at the root of much of his writing, especially the four major Catholic novels: Brighton Rock, The Heart of the Matter, The End of the Affair, and The Power and the Glory. Works such as The Quiet American, Our Man in Havana and The Human Factor also show an avid interest in the workings of international politics and espionage.(From Wikipedia)

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...
