Graham Greene: Collected Essays

Серия: "Vintage Classics"

So writes Graham Greene, describing his childhood love of reading and how it grew into a passion for writing. Collected Essays contains nearly eighty essays, reviews and occasional pieces composed between novels, plays and travel books over four prolific decades. From Henry James and Somerset Maugham to Ho Chi Minh and Kim Philby, the range of subjects is eclectic and stimulating, and the characters -writers, priests, explorers - are brought vividly to life. Collected Essays is as revealing as autobiography and as characteristically rich in humour, insight and doubt.

La desgracia, como la piedad, suele terminar haciéndose hábito.
Edad
En el fondo de nosotros mismos siempre tenemos la misma edad.
Poder
No puede uno confiarse a sus superiores cuando ha triunfado donde ellos fracasaron.
Triunfo
No puede uno confiarse a sus superiores cuando ha triunfado donde ellos fracasaron.
