* 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.
