Brown the hotelier, Smith the innocent American, and Jones the confidence man—these are the “comedians” of Greene’s title. Hiding behind their actors’ masks, they hesitate on the edge of life. They are men afraid of love, afraid of pain, afraid of fear itself...\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Educated at Berkhamsted School and Balliol College, Oxford, he started his career as a sub-editor of\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Times of London. He began to attract notice as a novelist with his fourth book,\u003cbr\u003e\nOrient Express, in 1932. In 1935, he trekked across northern Liberia, his first experience in Africa, recounted in\u003cbr\u003e\nA Journey Without Maps (1936). He converted to Catholicism in 1926, an edifying decision, and reported on religious persecution in Mexico in 1938 in\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Lawless Roads, which served as a background for his famous\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Power and the Glory, one of several “Catholic” novels (\u003cbr\u003e\nBrighton Rock, The Heart of the Matter, The End of the Affair). During the war he worked for the British secret service in Sierra Leone; afterward, he began wide-ranging travels as a journalist, which were reflected in novels such as\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Quiet American, Our Man in Havana, The Comedians, Travels with My Aunt, The Honorary Consul, The Human Factor, Monsignor Quixote, and\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Captain and the Enemy. In addition to his many novels, Graham Greene wrote several collections of short stories, four travel books, six plays, two books of autobiography—\u003cbr\u003e\nA Sort of Life and\u003cbr\u003e\nWays of Escape—two biographies, and four books for children. He also contributed hundreds of essays and film and book reviews to\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Spectator and other journals, many of which appear in the late collection\u003cbr\u003e\nReflections. Most of his novels have been filmed, including\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Third Man, which the author first wrote as a film treatment. Graham Greene was named Companion of Honour and received the Order of Merit among numerous other awards.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPaul Theroux, an internationally acclaimed travel writer, is also the author of over two dozen novels and works of non-fiction. He divides his time between Cape Cod and the Hawaiian Islands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143039198\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.6 x 5.0 x 0.7 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50120594424112,"sku":"Trans_9780143039198","price":1080.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/71WbTjAWbOL.jpg?v=1757319748","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/the-comedians","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
