Carcanet's Graham Greene Film Reader reissued as a Carcanet Classic, the only book to collect his written contributions to the world of cinema.
Graham Greene war ein englischer Schriftsteller, dessen Werke die ambivalenten moralischen und politischen Fragen der modernen Welt erforschten und ernsthafte literarische Anerkennung mit großer Popularität verbanden. Obwohl Greene stark dagegen war, als „katholischer Schriftsteller“ bezeichnet zu werden, liegen katholische religiöse Themen vielen seiner Schriften zugrunde. Seine Werke zeigen auch ein ausgeprägtes Interesse an den Mechanismen der internationalen Politik und Spionage.

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.
