Graham Greene Ordine dei libri (cronologico)
Graham Greene è stato un romanziere inglese le cui opere esploravano le ambigue questioni morali e politiche del mondo moderno, combinando serio plauso letterario con ampia popolarità. Sebbene Greene obiettasse a essere descritto come "romanziere cattolico", i temi religiosi cattolici sono alla radice di gran parte della sua scrittura. Le sue opere mostrano anche un vivo interesse per i meccanismi della politica internazionale e dello spionaggio.







The Third Man and Other Stories
- 344pagine
- 13 ore di lettura
A broad selection of Graham Greene's masterful short stories, including Cold War classic novella, The Third Man. Rollo Martins, a failing novelist, is invited to Vienna by his best friend, Harry Lime. The city he arrives in is unrecognisable -- torn apart by the Second World War and shared between the occupying Allies. What's more, Harry is dead, and the circumstances look suspicious... Determined to uncover the truth, Martins must pick through the rubble of this broken city in search of answers.
Published in 1932 as an 'entertainment', Graham Greene's gripping spy thriller unfolds aboard the majestic Orient Express as it crosses Europe from Ostend to Istanbul. Weaving a web of subterfuge, murder and politics along the way, the novel focuses upon the disturbing relationship between Myatt, the pragmatic Jew, and naive chorus girl Coral Musker as they engage in a desperate, angst-ridden pas-de-deux before a chilling turn of events spells an end to the unlikely interlude. Exploring the many shades of despair and hope, innocence and duplicity, Stamboul Train offers a poignant testimony to Greene's extraordinary powers of insight into the human condition.
* The first book of Graham Greene's letters - the most intimate record we have of a life lived at the heart of modern history
Tři do češtiny dosud nepřeložené Greenovy příběhy – Třetí muž, Poražený bere vše a Kapitán a nepřítel v jednom svazku. Třetí muž (1949), psán původně jako filmový scénář, představuje typické greenovské postavy se svými „mravními úrazy“ v prostředí okupované poválečné Vídně. Poražený bere vše (1955) je greenovské divertimento s mravním ponaučením, jakkkoli autor v dedikaci knihy říká, že „příběh nemá nikoho varovat před hazardem“. Kapitán a nepřítel je poslední Greenovo dílko, z roku 1988, kdy bylo autorovi čtyřiaosmdesát let, a podstatně doplňuje náš obraz jednoho z největších anglicky píšících spisovatelů minulého století.
When Graham Greene passed away in 1991 at 86, he was recognized as a significant Catholic writer, known for his exploration of sin and challenging themes. His work in the British Catholic journal The Tablet allowed him to share both his literary endeavors and unconventional religious perspectives. Greene was particularly fascinated by martyrdom, and his experiences in 1930s Mexico, where Roman Catholicism faced severe oppression, inspired impactful journalism first published in The Tablet. This collection features four of his Mexico despatches: "Mexican Sunday," "A Catholic Adventurer and his Mexican Journal," "In Search of a Miracle," and "The Dark Virgin." Additionally, it includes a long essay on the Assumption, "Our Lady and Her The Only Figure of Perfect Love," from 1951, along with 26 book reviews for The Tablet's "Fiction Chronicle." Greene's reviews highlight his broad-mindedness, praising works by authors such as Ignazio Silone and Karel Čapek. This volume gathers Greene's contributions to The Tablet, much of which has not been published in fifty years. It also features "Two Friends," an essay detailing Greene's friendship with diplomat Peter Leslie, alongside previously unseen correspondence between them.

Můj svět. Deník snů
- 136pagine
- 5 ore di lettura
Známý spisovatel krátce před svou smrtí vybral a převyprávěl své sny, jež si dlouhé roky (mezi lety 1965–1981) zapisoval. Ve své poslední knize nám autor dává nahlédnout do svého intenzivního vnitřního života, z něhož se po dobu své tvůrčí činnosti inspiroval, ale nedával do něj příliš nahlédnout. Stručné záznamy snů se liší od románové či povídkové stavby prostředky i stylem, jsou však psány tak sugestivně, jako by šlo o reálný děj. Dostáváme se na různá místa planety a do společnosti různých slavných osobností, které nějakým způsobem autorovi „ležely na srdci“ a s nimiž prožívá někdy snově fantasmagorické, ale někdy velmi realistické zážitky. Sny nejsou řazeny chronologicky, nýbrž tematicky, vznikl tak jakýsi zvláštní, dojímavý a hluboce osobní vzpomínkový cyklus. Pochopitelně tak vystupují jasné kontury autorových postojů, názorů, tužeb a hlavních životních zážitků.

Victorian Villainies

FRAUD, MURDER, POLITICAL INTRIGUE AND HORROR IN FOUR STORIES OF VICTORIAN VILLAINY. The Great Tontine, considered to be Hawley Smart's best book, concerns the unforeseen dangers of trying to make money in a lottery. Arthur Griffiths made a special study of the French police, and his sardonic amusement over their methods is evident in the classic train thriller The Rome Express. In the Fog, Richard Harding Davis's ingeniously plotted novel, is one of the very best accounts of foggy Victorian London. Haunted by figures of strange horror, Richard Marsh's The Beetle shed fascinating sidelights on forgotten aspects of the Victorian age. All in all, a splendid selection of works rescued from dusty oblivion - a rare treat!

Dva romány anglického autora. V prvom príbehu kriminálna téma nadobúda hlbší psychologický a etický význam, najatý vrah spácha politickú vraždu, ale neskôr zistí, že sa s ním hrala špinavá hra – vyplatili ho bankovkami z lúpeže, ktoré boli označené. Je rozhodnutý pomstiť sa. V druhom príbehu sa mieša tradičná moralita s modernou tragickou groteskou a autorova satira sa obracia proti ľudskej hrabivosti. Doktor Fischer je multimilionár, ktorý verí, že čím je človek bohatší, tým je lakomejší, s radosťou ponižuje bohatých priateľov...

«Монсеньор Кихот» – роман крупнейшего английского писателя Грэма Грина. Произведение это неожиданное. Автор как бы переносит сюжет и бессмертных героев Сервантеса в день сегодняшний, наделяет их современными чертами. Остроумный замысел позволил автору противопоставить и в то же время соединить двух людей – носителей противоположных воззрений – католического священника и коммуниста. Диалог между ними, собственно, и составляет философскую и психологическую основу романа.

"Μια δολοφονία για τον Ράβεν, δε σήμαινε και πολλά πράγματα. Ήταν απλά μια καινούργια δουλειά. Έπρεπε να προσέχει, να βάζει το μυαλό του να δουλεύει. Το μίσος, ήταν γι΄αυτόν πολυτέλεια. ?.Ο κρύος άνεμος μαστίγωσε το πρόσωπο του Ράβεν ενώ βάδιζε στη φαρδιά Κοντινένταλ Στρίτ. Καλή δικαιολογία για να σηκώσει το γιακά του παλτού του και να κρύψει το στόμα του. Η λαγοχειλία ήταν ένα σοβαρό μειονέκτημα στη δουλειά του. Όταν έχεις ένα τόσο χαρακτηριστικό σημάδι, δε γίνεται να μην είσαι αδίστακτος στις μεθόδους που χρησιμοποιείς. Γι΄αυτό, ο Ράβεν έπρεπε πάντα να προσέχει να μην αφήνει ίχνη?"
Dva romány snažící se o průhled do nitra moderního člověka a postižení jeho psychologie.

Konec dobrodružství je milostný příběh z Londýna na konci války. Citový vztah spisovatele a vdané ženy přerůstá v životní lásku, ale ta skončí ve slepé uličce, protože každý z partnerů usiluje o něco jiného a pravdu o sobě se dovídají až po letech, kdy hrdinka umírá na zápal plic.

„Organisiertes Verbrechen“ bleibt so lange ein teil toter Statistiken, bis man an Hand der Wirklichkeit zeigt, was es bedeutet. In Nizza gedeiht das „organisierte Verbrechen“, stellte Greene fest, unter Schutz von Polizei und Gerichten. Wie Zola in seinem berühmten "J'accuse„ die Wiederaufnahme der Affäre Dreyfus erzwang, will Graham Greene mit “Ich klage an" der Korruption die Maske herunterreißen. Und wie Zola spricht Graham Greene, seinem Auftrag getreu, im Namen der Opfer.
