About This Item
(London: Little, Brown, 2007) 9780316727938. 8vo; original charcoal boards, lettered in silver gilt on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. xxxiv + 446, incl. index; plates. Slightest curl to edges of dustwrapper. Very good to near-fine condition. "One of the undisputed masters of English prose in the twentieth century, Graham Greene (1904-91) wrote tens of thousands of personal letters. This substantial volume presents a new and engrossing account of his life constructed out of his own words. ... The sheer range of experience contained in Greene's correspondence defies comparison: at moments he is seen flying in a dive-bomber in Vietnam, on patrol with the Ghurkas in Malaya, or under artillery fire near the Suez Canal. Greene's letters are the most intimate record we have of a life enacted at the heart of modern history." .
