"The most ingenious, inventive and exciting of our novelists, rich in exactly etched and moving portraits of real human beings" -- V. S. Pritchett The Times "Greene was a master of characterisation and this book is no exception" Independent on Sunday "In a class by himself - the ultimate chronicler of twentieth-century man's consciousness and anxiety" -- William Golding Independent "A superb storyteller with a gift for provoking controversy" New York Times "Greene had the sharpest eyes for trouble, the finest nose for human weaknesses, and was pitilessly honest in his observations... For experience of a whole century he was the man within" -- Norman Sherry Independent
Pressezitat
