This novel is a study of New World hope and innocence set in an Old World of violence. The scene is Saigon in the violent years when the French were desperately trying to hold their footing in the Far East. The principal characters are a skeptical British journalist, his attractive Vietnamese mistress, and an eager young American sent out by Washington on a mysterious mission.
"...He is...conceded to be...one of the great men of modern English literature, a grave and extraordinary artist, surely one of the most compelling novelists of the time.... Greene is a superb story-teller. He evokes the most actual streets, the most vivid skies, and individuals who can have a lacerating reality as they search the labyrinth of their lives." -Newsweek
"Once rated as a spinner of superior thrillers...he is now seriously discussed as possibly 'the finest writer of his generation.' No other writer in England enjoys Greene's combination of popular and critical success." -Time |
