Although this book contains short stories, I didn't read any of them; my primary concern was The Third Man. I’m not sure I should have read the preface to this novella, because Graham Greene downplays the whole thing—the story itself was the basis for the movie starring Orson Welles, and Greene considers the movie to be better than the book. Not the strongest of advertisements! The story was fine, but I can see how it would make a really good movie, especially with Welles in the role of Harry Lime. The edition I read probably didn’t help either; it’s a tiny book with tiny print (which didn't encourage me to try the short stories). So this isn’t my favourite Greene book.

Rollo Martins, a failing novelist, is invited to Vienna by his best friend, Harry Lime. The city he arrives in is unrecognizable - 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. Accompanied here by twelve further stories that exhibit the full range of Graham Greene's masterly storytelling, The Third Man is an atmospheric noir that oozes with suspense. With an introduction by the biographer and editor Professor Richard Greene. Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautifully bound gift editions of much loved classic titles. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
