Graham Greene (October 2, 1904 Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire – April 3, 1991 Vevey, Switzerland) was a prolific English novelist, playwright, short story writer and critic whose works explore the ambiguities of modern man in a contemporary setting. Some of his best works, like Brighton Rock and The Power and the Glory, are explicitly Roman Catholic in content and preoccupations. Others he termed "entertainments", although many of them likewise deal with ambivalent moral or political issues which had earned him a worldwide readership and following.

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,...
评分有人(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...

Starring Michael Caine and Brendan Fraser, The Quiet American is already gaining incredible buzz -- including a Golden Globe nomination for Caine (Best Actor, Drama). This enchanting film is directed by Phillip Noyce (Rabbit-Proof Fence; The Bone Collector; Clear and Present Danger) and is adapted from one of Graham Greene’s best-loved novels. 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.

评分在韩江边上的咖啡馆心有旁骛地读了一个下午,时不时看看门外的江水,飞驰电掣的摩托车,要不就是看站在门边给客人开门关门的小哥,像普鲁斯特形容巴尔贝克海滩酒店门童,像是一株植物。至于书嘛,致郁系丧。
