'A great writer who spoke brilliantly to a whole generation. Prophet-like' Alec Guinness
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY ZADIE SMITH
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 naive 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 was born in 1904. On coming down from Balliol College, Oxford, he worked for four years as sub-editor on The Times. He established his reputation with his fourth novel, Stamboul Train. In 1935 he made a journey across Liberia, described in Journey Without Maps, and on his return was appointed film critic of the Spectator. In 1926 he had been received into the Roman Catholic Church and visited Mexico in 1938 to report on the religious persecution there. As a result he wrote The Lawless Roads and, later, his famous novel The Power and the Glory. Brighton Rock was published in 1938 and in 1940 he became literary editor of the Spectator. The next year he undertook work for the Foreign Office and was stationed in Sierra Leone from 1941 to 1943. This later produced the novel The Heart of the Matter, set in West Africa.
As well as his many novels, Graham Greene wrote several collections of short stories, four travel books, six plays, three books of autobiography - A Sort of Life, Ways of Escape and A World of My Own (published posthumously) - two of biography and four books for children. He also contributed hundreds of essays, and film and book reviews, some of which appear in the collections Reflections and Mornings in the Dark. Many of his novels and short stories have been filmed and The Third Man was written as a film treatment. Graham Greene was a member of the Order of Merit and a Companion of Honour. He died in April 1991.

評分在河內的Art Books購得,花瞭一周時間讀完。原文中一些幽默的錶達,坦貝的中譯(江蘇鳳凰文藝齣版社)並沒能錶達齣來。至於主萬的譯本,簡直是大災難。
有人(比如哈罗德.布鲁姆,他也因此认为格雷厄姆.格林最好的小说是《布莱顿硬糖》)说,格林的《权力与荣耀》、《问题的核心》不具有说服力,因为格林总是在小说的结尾让一个牧师出场,告诉我们上帝到底怎么想我们凡夫俗子是无法猜测的,因而为那些堕落的人物(威士忌神父、斯...
評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...
評分 評分我们都不想再被提醒自己的生命是多么不值钱,而死亡来得又是多么迅速,多么简单,多么悄声无息。 —— 摘自《安静的美国人》 《安静的美国人》写于1955年,本书是格雷厄姆·格林最受欢迎、最后公认和争议的代表作。 作者格雷厄姆·格林,英国作家、编剧、文学评论家。1932年,...
評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...
