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)
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)

评分格林把自己的作品分为“严肃小说”和“消遣小说”。但读者怎能纯粹地用一本毫无通常惊险小说人物脸谱化的缺点,故事背景又笃实可信的作品消遣起来?他的严肃小说又总和谍战、凶杀、战争联系起来,情节抓眼的让你恨不得一口气读完。。。他的消遣小说未免太过严肃,严肃小说又有...
