The Man Within Paperback - 2005
by Graham Greene; Introduction by Jonathan Yardley
Graham Greene's first published novel represented for the author 'one sentimental gesture towards his own past, the period of ambition and hope.' It tells the story of Andrews, a young man who has betrayed his fellow smugglers and fears their vengeance. The Man Within offers a foretaste of Greene's recurring theme of religion and the individual's struggles against cynicism and the indifferent forces of a hostile world.
Summary
"Greene had wit and grace and character and story and a transcendent universal compassion that places him for all time in the ranks of world literature.." John le Carré
Graham Greene’s first novel to be published tells the story of Andrews, a young man who has betrayed his fellow smugglers and fears their vengeance. Fleeing from them, with no hope of pity or salvation, he takes refuge in the house of a young woman, also alone in the world. Elizabeth persuades him to give evidence against his accomplices in court, but neither she nor Andrews is aware that to both criminals and authority, treachery is as great a crime as smuggling. The Man Within offers a foretaste of Green’s recurring themes of religion and the individual’s struggles against cynicism and the indifferent forces of a hostile world. This Penguin Classics edition features an introduction by Jonathan Yardley.
