Graham Greene

The long life of the greatest English writer of the 20th century Graham Greene, the cult author of "The Heart of the Matter", "The Quiet American", "Our Man in Havana", "The Comedians", resembles an exciting adventure novel that has it all. There are journeys to the world's "hot spots": as a war correspondent, the tireless and fearless Greene traveled across Africa, Southeast Asia, and Central and South America. There are meetings with the powerful of this world: Castro and Allende, Gorbachev and Ho Chi Minh. There is work in British intelligence, the famous MI6, under the command of double agent Kim Philby. There is a fight for survival against mafia structures on the French Riviera. And - numerous love affairs. Writer, translator, and critic Alexander Livergant guides the reader through the whimsical labyrinths of the life path of this bright, albeit ambiguous, man.
