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.

* 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.

When Graham Greene passed away in 1991 at 86, he was recognized as a significant Catholic writer, known for his exploration of sin and challenging themes. His work in the British Catholic journal The Tablet allowed him to share both his literary endeavors and unconventional religious perspectives. Greene was particularly fascinated by martyrdom, and his experiences in 1930s Mexico, where Roman Catholicism faced severe oppression, inspired impactful journalism first published in The Tablet. This collection features four of his Mexico despatches: "Mexican Sunday," "A Catholic Adventurer and his Mexican Journal," "In Search of a Miracle," and "The Dark Virgin." Additionally, it includes a long essay on the Assumption, "Our Lady and Her The Only Figure of Perfect Love," from 1951, along with 26 book reviews for The Tablet's "Fiction Chronicle." Greene's reviews highlight his broad-mindedness, praising works by authors such as Ignazio Silone and Karel Čapek. This volume gathers Greene's contributions to The Tablet, much of which has not been published in fifty years. It also features "Two Friends," an essay detailing Greene's friendship with diplomat Peter Leslie, alongside previously unseen correspondence between them.

Známý spisovatel krátce před svou smrtí vybral a převyprávěl své sny, jež si dlouhé roky (mezi lety 1965–1981) zapisoval. Ve své poslední knize nám autor dává nahlédnout do svého intenzivního vnitřního života, z něhož se po dobu své tvůrčí činnosti inspiroval, ale nedával do něj příliš nahlédnout. Stručné záznamy snů se liší od románové či povídkové stavby prostředky i stylem, jsou však psány tak sugestivně, jako by šlo o reálný děj. Dostáváme se na různá místa planety a do společnosti různých slavných osobností, které nějakým způsobem autorovi „ležely na srdci“ a s nimiž prožívá někdy snově fantasmagorické, ale někdy velmi realistické zážitky. Sny nejsou řazeny chronologicky, nýbrž tematicky, vznikl tak jakýsi zvláštní, dojímavý a hluboce osobní vzpomínkový cyklus. Pochopitelně tak vystupují jasné kontury autorových postojů, názorů, tužeb a hlavních životních zážitků.

Tra gli altri ritroviamo in queste pagine il primo racconto pubblicato da Greene sull'"Oxford Outlook", la rivista da lui diretta;"Assassinio per la ragione sbagliata", che testimonia il suo profondo interesse, costante lungo tutti gli anni Trenta, per il genere del giallo; "Il tenente morì per ultimo", ispirato a un episodio della Seconda guerra mondiale, e ancora "Il biglietto della lotteria", che riecheggia i romanzi maggiori "Strade senza legge" e "Il potere e la gloria".

FRAUD, MURDER, POLITICAL INTRIGUE AND HORROR IN FOUR STORIES OF VICTORIAN VILLAINY. The Great Tontine, considered to be Hawley Smart's best book, concerns the unforeseen dangers of trying to make money in a lottery. Arthur Griffiths made a special study of the French police, and his sardonic amusement over their methods is evident in the classic train thriller The Rome Express. In the Fog, Richard Harding Davis's ingeniously plotted novel, is one of the very best accounts of foggy Victorian London. Haunted by figures of strange horror, Richard Marsh's The Beetle shed fascinating sidelights on forgotten aspects of the Victorian age. All in all, a splendid selection of works rescued from dusty oblivion - a rare treat!

Dva romány anglického autora. V prvom príbehu kriminálna téma nadobúda hlbší psychologický a etický význam, najatý vrah spácha politickú vraždu, ale neskôr zistí, že sa s ním hrala špinavá hra – vyplatili ho bankovkami z lúpeže, ktoré boli označené. Je rozhodnutý pomstiť sa. V druhom príbehu sa mieša tradičná moralita s modernou tragickou groteskou a autorova satira sa obracia proti ľudskej hrabivosti. Doktor Fischer je multimilionár, ktorý verí, že čím je človek bohatší, tým je lakomejší, s radosťou ponižuje bohatých priateľov...

"Μια δολοφονία για τον Ράβεν, δε σήμαινε και πολλά πράγματα. Ήταν απλά μια καινούργια δουλειά. Έπρεπε να προσέχει, να βάζει το μυαλό του να δουλεύει. Το μίσος, ήταν γι΄αυτόν πολυτέλεια. ?.Ο κρύος άνεμος μαστίγωσε το πρόσωπο του Ράβεν ενώ βάδιζε στη φαρδιά Κοντινένταλ Στρίτ. Καλή δικαιολογία για να σηκώσει το γιακά του παλτού του και να κρύψει το στόμα του. Η λαγοχειλία ήταν ένα σοβαρό μειονέκτημα στη δουλειά του. Όταν έχεις ένα τόσο χαρακτηριστικό σημάδι, δε γίνεται να μην είσαι αδίστακτος στις μεθόδους που χρησιμοποιείς. Γι΄αυτό, ο Ράβεν έπρεπε πάντα να προσέχει να μην αφήνει ίχνη?"

Dva romány snažící se o průhled do nitra moderního člověka a postižení jeho psychologie. V Jádru věci jde o příběh netypického policejního úředníka, jehož smysl pro spravedlnost naráží na bariéru zkorumpovaného koloniálního prostředí a který nakonec podlehne beznaději. Konec dobrodružství je milostný příběh z Londýna na konci války. Citový vztah spisovatele a vdané ženy přerůstá v životní lásku, ale ta skončí ve slepé uličce, protože každý z partnerů usiluje o něco jiného a pravdu o sobě se dovídají až po letech, kdy hrdinka umírá na zápal plic.

Un scénario de 1944 oublié par son auteur. Une longue nouvelle dont le suspense est entretenu avec la maîtrise habituelle de l'écrivain. A noter que ce texte envoûtant n'est pas un fond-de-tiroir mais un dessus-de-panier.

'In August 1981 my bag was packed for my fifth visit to Panama when the news came to me over the telephone of the death of General Omar Torrijos Herrera, my friend and host. . . At that moment the idea came to me to write a short personal memoir. . . of a man I had grown to love over those five years' GETTING TO KNOW THE GENERAL is Graham Greene's account of a five-year personal involvement with Omar Torrijos, ruler of Panama from 1968-81 and Sergeant Chuchu, one of the few men in the National Guard whom the General trusted completely. It is a fascinating tribute to an inspirational politician in the vital period of his country's history, and to an unusual and enduring friendship.

Zum ersten Mal hat sich der scheue, unnahbare Graham Greene, der Interviews und Fernsehauftritte meidet, bereit erklärt, über sich zu sprechen. Gelungen ist diese Kunststück der französischen Journalistin Marie-Francoise Allain. Vieles, was in seinen Büchern „Eine Art Leben“ und „Fluchtwege“ angedeutet oder verschlüsselt ist, wird ausgesprochen. Ohne Umschweife. Wie der Schriftsteller Graham Greene arbeitet. Wie er sich mit dem Ehemann und Freund Graham Greene verträgt. Wie der Christ Graham Greene mit alldem fertig wird, und was der Revolutionär und Linksintellektuelle Graham Greene daraus macht.

Verhaal over een communistische burgemeester en een r.k. bisschop, die als een moderne Don Quichot en Sancho Panza samen op reis gaan.

„Organisiertes Verbrechen“ bleibt so lange ein teil toter Statistiken, bis man an Hand der Wirklichkeit zeigt, was es bedeutet. In Nizza gedeiht das „organisierte Verbrechen“, stellte Greene fest, unter Schutz von Polizei und Gerichten. Wie Zola in seinem berühmten "J'accuse„ die Wiederaufnahme der Affäre Dreyfus erzwang, will Graham Greene mit “Ich klage an" der Korruption die Maske herunterreißen. Und wie Zola spricht Graham Greene, seinem Auftrag getreu, im Namen der Opfer.

En katolsk præst og en afsat kommunistisk borgmester kører sammen rundt i Spanien i en gammel bil og kommer ud for en række sælsomme og muntre hændelser.
