Graham Greene was born in England in 1904 and died in 1991 in Switzerland.
He studied at the Berkhamsted School, where his father was headmaster, before
entering Balliol College, Oxford. In 1926 Greene became a journalist for the
Nottingham Journal and converted to Catholicism to be closer to his future wife,
Vivien Dayrell-Browning. His first novel, The Man Within, was published three years
later. The Quiet American, Our Man in Havana, and Orient Express are among his
numerous provocative, exotically suspenseful, and often hilarious explorations of the
corruption of the human spirit. Many of his novels have been adapted successfully to
the screen.
