The Comedians
Introduction by Paul Theroux
Graham Greene’s first published novel
tells the story of Andrews, a young man
who has betrayed his fellow smugglers and
fears their vengeance. A plot of ambition
and treachery, it is also a foretaste of
Greene’s more mature themes of religion,
cynicism, and the indifferent forces of a
hostile world.

Complete Short Stories
Introduction by Pico Iyer
Greene’s entire collection of short fiction,
never before published in one volume,
recalls the author’s signature themes—
religious faith, confused loyalties, human
bonds, and human sorrow—and his range
of contrasting moods—cynical and witty,
searching and philosophical. Each story
confirms V. S. Pritchett’s statement that
Greene is a “master of storytelling.”
