Graham Greene Ordre des livres

Carcanet's Graham Greene Film Reader reissued as a Carcanet Classic, the only book to collect his written contributions to the world of cinema.

A master of twentieth century fiction, Graham Greene looks back on his life. This volume also includes several key interviews from throughout his long, fruitful career.Graham Greene led one of the most extraordinary lives of the twentieth century. The son of a Hertfordshire headmaster, he quickly discovered a love for writing, beginning a career that would last a lifetime. Greene's fascination with global politics took him around the world, to places that would become the settings for many of his most famous Mexico ( The Power and the Glory ), Sierra Leone ( The Heart of the Matter ), and Haiti ( The Comedians ) - among dozens of other far-flung locations. He produced masterpieces throughout his life, many of which now stand as indisputably Brighton Rock, The End of the Affair , and The Quiet American to name but a few.

A broad selection of Graham Greene's masterful short stories, including Cold War classic novella, The Third Man. Rollo Martins, a failing novelist, is invited to Vienna by his best friend, Harry Lime. The city he arrives in is unrecognisable -- torn apart by the Second World War and shared between the occupying Allies. What's more, Harry is dead, and the circumstances look suspicious... Determined to uncover the truth, Martins must pick through the rubble of this broken city in search of answers.

This phantasmagoric study in terror is set in Second World War London. Arthur Rowe's mind is hamstrung by guilt - a Graham Greene speciality - and he stands aside from the war until he happens to guess both the true and the false weight of the cake at a charity fete. From that moment he is the quarry of malign and shadowy forces from which he tries to escape with a mind that is out of focus. The action plays out as bombs pound the city, and who is friend and who foe becomes increasingly uncertain.

A story of gang war in the underworld of Brighton. Pinkie, only seventeen, has already brutally killed a man. Now believing he has escaped retribution, he is unprepared for Ida Arnold, who is determined to avenge the death.

* The first book of Graham Greene's letters - the most intimate record we have of a life lived at the heart of modern history

Tři do češtiny dosud nepřeložené Greenovy příběhy – Třetí muž, Poražený bere vše a Kapitán a nepřítel v jednom svazku. Třetí muž (1949), psán původně jako filmový scénář, představuje typické greenovské postavy se svými „mravními úrazy“ v prostředí okupované poválečné Vídně. Poražený bere vše (1955) je greenovské divertimento s mravním ponaučením, jakkkoli autor v dedikaci knihy říká, že „příběh nemá nikoho varovat před hazardem“. Kapitán a nepřítel je poslední Greenovo dílko, z roku 1988, kdy bylo autorovi čtyřiaosmdesát let, a podstatně doplňuje náš obraz jednoho z největších anglicky píšících spisovatelů minulého století.
