Contains an unforgettable mysterious one called: A Discovery in the Woods. Science fiction, yet no science fiction. Evoquing a memory of a civilization that once was. Children at play finding a boat, well , I can't describe the indescribable, but Greene managed.
So facile and naturally talented a writer as Graham Greene has no difficulty, of course, in holding our attention, despite the absence of some familiar realistic props. But this attention, I am afraid, is not rewarded. Appartiene alle Collane EditorialiKeltainen kirjasto (54) È contenuto in
A collection of four stories comprising ` Under The Garden' (A short novel); `A Visit to the Morin'; Dream of a Strange Land' and `A Discovery in the Woods'. In these four stories Graham Greene, one of the master of modern English fiction, has allowed himself the liberty of fantasy, myth, legend and dream. The results are, quite simply, superb.

Each i guess has something to say about how we perceive the world around us (hence the title of the collection) but its a very tenuous connection.
The long tale is about a man who revisits his childhood home and tries to remember a strange incident that happened when he was young. Its like a Roald Dahl story for adults, pretty twisted but good. Each of the others has something to say about faith or perception but is wildly different in location and characters.
I don't process short stories as easily as long ones, so i wouldn't buy something like this but a very interesting borrow from the library, and i look forward to checking out some of Greene's other works :) . ( )
