3.0�toiles sur 5 Surprise-filled tale of a mission, Juil 4 2000

Par	Stephen O. Murray "Stephen O. Murray" (San Francisco, CA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: 20th Century Confidential Agent (Paperback)

This quirky thriller begins in bleakness and continues through a trail of failures and deaths in a very foggy England, culminating in a parody happy ending. D., a former professor who specialized in _The Song of Roland_ and has survived imprisonment, the death of his beloved wife, and years of civil war, has been sent to contract coal by a government that is not specifially identified as the Spanish Republic beset by a civil war in which the anti-government side has the support of what is not specifically identified as Nazi Germany. He runs into L., the rebel forces' agent many times. He inspires fierce loyalty from two Englishwomen, and dodges bullets, double-crosses, a major explosion, the police, and trumped-up murder charges. There are farcical interludes at an Entrenationo (Esperanto) school and dangerous whiffs of precocious female sexuality (something of a Greene leitmotif). It is an odd book, with the multiple failures of D's mission oddly exhilirating. Some have read it as anti-Semitic. I don't think that it is, but a charge of derogating Asians could more convincingly be made.

This review is from: 20th Century Confidential Agent (Paperback)

Good book in line with other Graham's ones as The Third Man or Our Man in Havana. Nevertheless not so bright, intelligent and fun as Our Man in Havana.

This review is from: 20th Century Confidential Agent (Paperback)

Greene's work, although provinvial in the sense that they are terribly British (I don't always get what he is talking about), is a knockout! What great great writing! Really unbeatable travel reading ... don't hesitate...

4.0�toiles sur 5 Pretty good Greene
Graham Greene actually manages to come up with a reasonably happy ending, bit of a shock, but then he doesn't delve so deeply into the human mind as in some of his other... Read more

The Confidential Agent is unlike Greene's other works because it leaves the reader satisfied instead of strongly disturbed. Read more
