Graham Greene

Graham Greene was an English novelist and author, widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. Combining literary acclaim with widespread popularity, Greene had acquired a reputation early in his own lifetime as a great writer, both of serious Catholic novels and of thrillers (or "entertainments " as he termed them). Through 67 years of writings which included over 25 novels, he explored the ambivalent moral and political issues of the modern world through a Catholic perspective.

'No serious writer of this century has more thoroughly invaded and shaped the public imagination than Graham Greene.'
TIME

Graham Greene's classic exploration of love, innocence and morality in Vietnam.

While the French Army in Indo-China is grappling with the Vietminh, back at Saigon into the intrigue and violence comes Pyle, a young idealistic American sent to promote democracy and channel economic aid through a mysterious 'Third Force'. As Pyle's naive optimism starts to cause bloodshed, his friend Fowler, a seasoned and cynical foreign correspondent, finds it impossible to stand aside as an observer. But Fowler's motives for intervening are suspect, both to the police and to himself. The Quiet American is a terrifying portrait of innocence at large.
