Henry Graham Greene, OM, CH was an English novelist, short story writer, playwright, screenplay writer, travel writer and critic whose works explore the ambivalent moral and political issues of the modern world. Greene combined serious literary acclaim with wide popularity.
Although Greene objected strongly to being described as a “Catholic novelist” rather than as a “novelist who happened to be Catholic,” Catholic religious themes are at the root of much of his writing, especially the four major Catholic novels: Brighton Rock, The Heart of the Matter, The End of the Affair, and The Power and the Glory. Works such as The Quiet American, Our Man in Havana and The Human Factor also show an avid interest in the workings of international politics and espionage.(From Wikipedia)

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...
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...
评分人生真是处处充满惊喜,刚对英国人下了个刻板定义,“一群疯子”,扭头却发现自己最喜欢的作家个个都是英国人。从中学时迷恋过的勃朗特姐妹,到后来的毛姆,再到奈保尔,到这本一口气看完的《安静的美国人》的作者格雷厄姆·格林,个个都是英国人。抛开几乎一直在闺中的勃朗特...
评分“非常好看的一本书,各种意义上都非常好看的一本书。”读完格雷厄姆·格林《安静的美国人》,我不假思索,便写下上述这段近乎词穷的文字。然后便是唏嘘,相见恨晚,接下来,更是不遗余力地将其推荐给身边的文字爱好者,一遍又一遍。 关于格林21次与诺贝尔文学奖的纠缠无果,虽...

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? (From Goodreads)
