Description
The talented English prose writer Graham Greene (1904–1991) brilliantly managed to solve the hardest task: conveying the subtlest movements of the human soul against the backdrop of global problems of the modern world. The writer masterfully creates the image of a hero standing before a choice between good and evil. And this is a choice his characters have to make in both the novel “The Comedians,” set in the 1960s in Haiti, and “Our Man in Havana.”
“The Comedians” is one of Graham Greene’s best novels. The action takes place in Haiti during the rule of dictator François Duvalier. The heroes will have to choose between good and evil. Graham Greene visited Haiti several times—both before Duvalier came to power and after. The real “Oloffson” hotel became the “Trianon” in the book. Many characters have real prototypes: Mr. and Mrs. Smith were based on an American artist and his wife, and Dr. Majeau was based on a former minister of health. The novel “The Comedians” was first published in 1966.
