Brighton Rock (Film Tie-in). Graham Greene427 руб
Seventeen-year-old Pinkie, malign and ruthless, has killed a man. A gang war is raging through the dark underworld of Brighton. Graham Greene was born in 1904. Believing he can escape retribution, he is unprepared for the courageous, life-embracing Ida Arnold. He established his reputation with his fourth novel, Stamboul Train. On coming down from Balliol College, Oxford, he worked for four years as sub-editor on The Times. In 1926 he had been received into the Roman Catholic Church and visited Mexico in 1938 to report on the religious persecution there. In 1935 he made a journey across Liberia, described in Journey Without Maps, and on his return was appointed film critic of the Spectator. Brighton Rock was published in 1938 and in 1940 he became literary editor of the Spectator. As a result he wrote The Lawless Roads and, later, his famous novel The Power and the Glory. This later produced the novel The Heart of the Matter, set in West Africa. The next year he undertook work for the Foreign Office and was stationed in Sierra Leone from 1941 to 1943. He also contributed hundreds of essays, and film and book reviews, some of which appear in the collections Reflections and Mornings in the Dark. As well as his many novels, Graham Greene wrote several collections of short stories, four travel books, six plays, three books of autobiography - A Sort of Life, Ways of Escape and A World of My Own (published posthumously) - two of biography and four books for children. Graham Greene was a member of the Order of Merit and a Companion of Honour. Many of his novels and short stories have been filmed and The Third Man was written as a film treatment. 2011. He died in April 1991. |
