Un racconto aggrappato alla realtà, "vissuto alla giornata": la lenta maturazione d'un giovane solo e arrabbiato, avido di conoscere, affamato di parole e di libri. "Ragazzo negro", quasi un romanzo di formazione, è l'autobiografia simbolica di Richard Wright, scrittore negro nativo delMississippi, dapprima sguattero, spazzino, spalatore, poi impiegato alle poste, agente di assicurazioni, disoccupato, infine narratore di brevi racconti pagati pochi dollari a cartella. L'esperienza di vivere nelle cose, scoprire le parole come arma di liberazione: il coraggio di progettare la propria esistenza proiettandola verso il viaggio dell'utopia come scelta d'una fuga che non è più passiva sconfitta.

The Third Man is Greene's brilliant recreation of post-war Vienna, a city of desolate poverty occupied by four powers. Rollo Martins, a second-rate novelist, arrives penniless in Vienna to visit his old friend and hero Harry Lime. Harry is dead, but the circumstances surrounding his death are highly suspicious, and his reputation, at the very least, dubious. Graham Greene said of The Third Man that he "wanted to entertain [people], to frighten them a little, to make them laugh" and the result is both a compelling narrative and a haunting thriller. The Fallen Idol is the chilling story of a small boy caught up in the games that adults play. Left in the care of the butler, Baines, and his wife, Philip realizes too late the danger of lies and deceit. But the truth is even deadlier.
