具體描述
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)
著者簡介
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)

評分 評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...
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...
