Edition Description

Synopsis
Graham Greene's classic exploration of love, innocence, and morality in Vietnam "I never knew a man who had better motives for all the trouble he caused," Graham Greene's narrator Fowler remarks of Alden Pyle, the eponymous "Quiet American" of what is perhaps the most controversial novel of his career. Pyle is the brash young idealist sent out by Washington on a mysterious mission to Saigon, where the French Army struggles against the Vietminh guerrillas. As young Pyle's well-intentioned policies blunder into bloodshed, Fowler, a seasoned and cynical British reporter, finds it impossible to stand safely aside as an observer. But Fowler's motives for intervening are suspect, both to the police and himself, for Pyle has stolen Fowler's beautiful Vietnamese mistress. Originally published in 1956 and twice adapted to film, The Quiet American remains a terrifiying and prescient portrait of innocence at large. This Graham Greene Centennial Edition includes a new introductory essay by Robert Stone. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

- n***j (17)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSam accepted an offer for a lower price than he was asking for a Disney lunchbox. It was a fair price. He packaged it with more padding than I would have expected and sent it off immediately. It came in the condition that he described. He even included a personal note for me. It was a pleasure buying from him.
- 6***n (2)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe quality of this used book was even better than I expected! It was described as "like new", however, I'm not sure it had ever even been read before. It arrived in some of the best packing I have ever seen for a book....or anything else for that matter. A thoughtful, kind handwritten note was included that made it even more special. It is evident that this seller cares about customer service and takes great care in delivering their product. I would highly recommend purchasing from them!
