About This Item
London: William Heinemann Ltd, 1930. First edition of Greene's second novel, which was never reprinted. Octavo, original cloth. In very good condition. Rare. Greene's second novel, The Name of Action, follows the strange turn of events that occur when wealthy British youth Oliver Chant is sent to Germany to participate in an underground Communist rebellion. Greene became disenchanted with the work and prevented it from being reprinted, making it one of his scarcer titles.
