Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good Plus. 1st Edition. 1986. 126pp. "Far from turning to new interests after completing his last "theological" novel, The End of the Affair (1951), Graham Greene has been consistent and unrelenting in his themes over the course of the past 50 years. These themes are more fundamental than the religious…problems of his middle period. They include such concerns as the divided self, the betrayal of a friend, justifiable suicide, and the real presence of supernatural evil in the world. Such dominant concerns are seen as early as The Man Within (1929) and perdure through the present. Moreover, Greene's perspective as a writer has always been the one he describes in his "virtue of disloyalty" address at the University of Hamburg: "The writer is driven by his own vocation to be a protestant in a Catholic society, a catholic in a Protestant one, to see the virtues of a capitalist in a Communist society, of the communist in a Capitalist state . He stands for the victims, and the victims change. Loyalty confines you to accepted opinions: loyalty forbids you to comprehend sympathetically your dissident fellows; but disloyalty encourages you to roam through any human mind; it gives the novelist an extra dimension of understand-ing." Though this book is not primarily intended to argue a thesis but rather to introduce the common reader to the novels of Greene, the novelist's perduring themes and perspective are kept steadily before the reader's eyes". Book in excellent condition. No inscriptions.
