Graham Greene - Collected Essays torrent

Graham Greene - Collected Essays (Vintage Classics, 1999).

ISBN: 9780099282679 | 352 pages | EPUB


Originally published by the Bodley Head in 1969, here are nearly 80 of Greene's essays, reviews and occasional pieces. They cover an eclectic and stimulating range of subjects from Henry James and Somerset Maugham to Ho Chi Minh and Kim Philby. Never dull, even when at his most controversial, Greene illuminates questions of literature and questions of faith with equal ease and wit.

"A man should be judged by his enmities as well as his friendships," Greene wrote. In that sense, COLLECTED ESSAYS is as revealing as autobiography and as characteristically rich in humour, insight and doubt.
