The Tenth Man (1998)

Μέχρι πριν ένα μήνα δεν ήξερα καν ότι είχε μεταφραστεί στα ελληνικά, μέχρι που το βρήκα με ένα ευρώ σε παλαιοπωλείο. Χάρηκα, γιατί όσο να'ναι ο Γκράχαμ Γκριν έχει γίνει από τους αγαπημένους μου συγγραφείς, και όσο περισσότερα βιβλία του υπάρχουν στα ελληνικά, τόσο το καλύτερο για μένα. Αν και το ...

The Confidential Agent (2001)

I don't remember now whether The Power And The Glory was the first Greene novel I read - it might have been The Third Man or Our Man in Havana. I mention this because The Confidential Agent was written in parallel with The Power And The Glory, working on one each morning, and switching to the oth...

Must we take a side? Set in Vietnam during the 1950's, The Quiet American explores the unheroic world of post-colonial compromise through the relationship between Fowler (a British correspondent) and Pyle (the quiet American of the title). Graham Greene mixes a murder mystery with a cautionary ta...

Doctor Fischer of Geneva or The Bomb Party (1981)

حفلة القنبلة أول كتاب أقرؤه لجراهام جرين، قرأت مذكراته قبل عام تقريبا ً، ولأنه من الكتاب الذين لا يرد ذكرهم كثيرا ً، حيث لا أذكر أني قرأت أو سمعت من يتحدث عنه أو عن كتبه، فلذا لم أكن متعجلا ً للتجربة، بعض الكتاب تشعر بضغط شديد للقراءة لهم، الكل يتحدث عنهم، مراجعات كتبهم في كل مكان، مع جراهام كن...

The Ministry of Fear (2005)

”Ah, he thought, Tolstoy should have lived in a small country--not in Russia, which was a continent rather than a country. And why does he write as if the worst thing we can do to our fellowman is kill him? Everybody has to die and everybody fears death, but when we kill a man we save him from hi...

Graham Greene: The Enemy Within (1995)

This biography is a lively and irreverent one of the controversial writer and author of such modern classics as ‘The Third Man’, ‘Brighton Rock’ and ‘The Human Factor’, who died in 1991. Greene spent many years in building up a carefully controlled public persona, in which the many skeletons in ...

Getting to Know the General: The Story of an Involvement (1984)

Getting To Know The General is a little known out-of-print nonfiction book by one of my favorite writers, Graham Greene. The story begins in 1976 when Greene inexplicably receives an invitation to visit Panama as the guest of then ruler General Omar Torrijos Herrar. He immediately accepts knowing...

England Made Me (1992)

"England Made Me" is a novel by Graham Greene first published in 1935, it was republished as" The Shipwrecked" in 1953. I'm not sure why it was originally titled "England Made Me", and I have absolutely no idea why it was republished with the title "The Shipwrecked". Maybe if it had taken plac...

Monsignor Quixote (1983)

Father Quixote was peacefully tending to his parishioners at El Toboso when he received a letter from his bishop. The Holy See was promoting him into a monsignor, and all because he was endorsed by a bishop (a different one) who was once aided by Father Quixote in a time of need. This was a surpr...

May We Borrow Your Husband & Other Comedies of the Sexual Life (1967)

It sounds naïve, but I think Graham Greene really was never as good with the comedic as he was with the bitter and bizarre. The stories in this collection are okay, but in a lot of them o was confused by what tone he was going for- is "Dr. Crombie" meant as a comic elaboration on the cliche "mast...

The Third Man (1999)

Πρόκειται για ένα απο τα πλέον εμβληματικά noir έργα, γραμένο από τον Graham Green για να γίνει ταινία. Η σεναριακή γραφή όμως δεν αφαιρεί τίποτα από το βάρος, την αξία και την επίδραση που είχε το συγκεκριμένο έργο. Ο μεγάλος Άγγλος συγγραφέας, γράφοντας απλώς και μόνο ένα σενάριο έβαλε ένα σημα...

Three stars on Goodreads means "I liked it," but two stars means it was just "OK." Well, I liked this lightweight novella by Graham Greene, even though, ultimately, it was just OK. So, it gets two stars, even though I liked it. Dig where I'm coming from here?The story covers about two weeks in th...

A Burnt Out Case (2001)

"When the legend becomes fact, print the legend."Those aren't Graham Greene's words; they come from the finale of the 1962 John Ford western movie classic, The Man Who Shot Libery Valance, and they refer to how a mythos can be created from a lie; how the sad, banal truth rarely stands a chance ag...

Book

A Gun for Sale (2005)

I'm not quite sure what criteria Graham Greene used to draw the dividing line between his "entertainments" and his serious works. In many ways, this novel was quite similar to Brighton Rock, which was his next novel and classified in the "serious" group. This earlier work had a little bit more ...

A World Of My Own: A Dream Diary (1994)

For the last third of his life Graham Greene nurtured the private world of his dreams in extensive diaries. In his last months, he drew heavily on them to create this book, designed to be published posthumously. As a kind of farewell, his "autobiography" offers an unabashed glimpse into his inner...

The Captain and the Enemy

Even in later years, when sexual desire began to play its part, I would find myself wondering, do I love this girl or do I really only like her because of the pleasure that for the time being we share? As I went back home, carrying the newspaper, I was pretty certain that I liked the Captain, but...

He was organizing a fair to represent the history of Belgium, to be held in all the world capitals, and he was wondering how to deal with the unfortunate history of the Congo. I suggested that he should simply leave it out, but my reply satisfied neither of us. I then proposed that he should be c...

Getting to Know the General

Those characters which I had so mistakenly drawn from life wouldn’t let me rest. I would constantly remember Chuchu’s boast, ‘I’m never going to die’; his complex theology – ‘I believe in the Devil. I don’t believe in God,’ and the way that he would prove the existence of the Devil by pushing at ...

May We Borrow Your Husband? (2000)

MORTMAIN HOW wonderfully secure and peaceful a genuine marriage seemed to Carter, when he attained it at the age of forty-two. He even enjoyed every moment of the church service, except when he saw Josephine wiping away a tear as he conducted Julia down the aisle. It was typical of this new frank...

Brighton Rock

She looked a little flushed, a little haughty sailing down the street; she paused and gave a small boy a penny. He was so surprised he dropped it, staring after her heavy careful retreat. The Boy gave a sudden laugh, rusty and half-hearted. He thought: she’s drunk. . . Dallow said, ‘That was a na...

The Heart of the Matter

WHAT DO you think of it?’ Harris asked with ill-concealed pride. He stood in the doorway of the hut while Wilson moved cautiously forward between the brown sticks of Government furniture like a setter through stubble. ‘Better than the hotel,’ Wilson said cautiously, pointing his muzzle towards a ...

A Sort of Life

The new things which most impressed me were the long path from the street to the front door, on the right the red-brick Tudor school hall and on the left, divided from me only by a flower-bed, the old disused churchyard. There was a white cat which used to sit on the tombstones and it was said by...

The Man Within

The sun rose, but not into sight. Grey banked clouds slowly appeared, and that was the one sign of day. Along Lewes High Street there was no sound save the regular drip, drip of water from pipes and gables and sign boards. Water streamed from the hair, the robes and the sword of the fat stone Jus...

The Comedians (2004)

At least he paid for the monument – however unwillingly – with his life, while the generals as a rule came home safe and paid, if at all, with the blood of their men, and as for the politicians – who cares for dead politicians sufficiently to remember with what issues they were identified? Free T...

The power and the glory

Mr. Lehr, her brother, read a New York magazine-it was three weeks old, but that didn't really matter. the whole scene was like peace."Just help yourself to water," Miss Lehr said, "when you want it."A huge earthenware jar stood in a cool corner with a ladle and a tumbler. "Don't you have to boil...

Collected Essays (1969)

It is a curious psychological fact that men with interests almost entirely intellectual will suffer a sense of inferiority and shame from a purely physical defect, which will sometimes cancel their whole work. There are cases, naturally, where that shame has not been disastrous, but none the less...

Stamboul Train (2007)

Below the central station burned like a bonfire in the dark. A whistle screamed and a long line of lights came into view, moving slowly; he looked at his watch as a clock struck nine. That’s the Istanbul Express, he thought, twenty minutes late; it may have been held up by snow. He adjusted his f...
