![]() ![]() Greene previously edited Graham Greene: A Life in Letters and is also the author of a biography of Edith Sitwell. Graham Greene is the subject of a new biography, The Unquiet Englishman: A Life of Graham Greene, by Canadian poet and editor Richard Greene. From his early psychoanalysis, to his conversion to Catholicism, his work with British Intelligence and his tormented love affairs, his life was as complicated and eventful as his fiction. Up to his death at 86, in 1991, he witnessed, and wrote about, the key events of modern history. Greene's restless spirit and political engagement frequently took him to the world's hotspots - in Africa, Central America, Southeast Asia and beyond. He made the cover of Time magazine with his controversial 1951 novel The End of the Affair. Graham Greene was one of the most popular and admired English writers of the 20th century. Best known for Brighton Rock, The Quiet American, The Heart of the Matter and his film The Third Man, he was the author of both literary novels and thrillers, as well as nonfiction, memoirs and screenplays. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Readers have been ensnared by The Lighthouse.

No character really feels strongly enough to actually do anything, so opportunities are always being missed and everyone ends up sad. Either way, hesitancy leading to quiet failure is the common thread in Turgenev’s work. It’s either love spoiling the young revolutionary, or his own weakness of will. They think they believe something, but it always turns out that they don’t quite know themselves. His characters are shown, time and again, to fail to achieve their goals because of their own hesitations and inaction. If I were feeling charitable, I’d say Turgenev’s stories are mostly about the failures of an ideological way of living. In On the Eve, we have a classic Turgenev tale of a revolutionary who forgets about his convictions when love appears. Unlike Dostoevsky, ideas don’t seem to interest him, and though he tries to write passionate characters he can’t actually write characters who ideas seem to interest either. But it doesn’t change the fact that I’ve always found Turgenev boring. This is fair enough, for a man who corresponded with Theodor Storm and Gustave Flaubert, and spent much of his life in Europe rather than Russia. Among the major Russian writers of the 19th century he bears the fewest marks of the land of his birth. What I mean is that I’ve never been particularly impressed by him. ![]() ![]() But when an utterly alien force of incalculable power begins to wreak destruction on all sides, it is Crowell and his beautiful fighting companion to whom the planet looks for deliverance.”Ģ.

In the days before the internet and search-engines it was not easy to find out about a set of French novels! Then in 2005 the novels appeared - still in French - to help launch an indifferent remake of the original TV series. Some years later my French friend told me that it had been based on a set of seven books written by Maurice Druon, but she did not know if they had ever been translated into English. As one habituated to late rising I decided to take a peek at the first episode and was hooked. The British dumped the drama into the graveyard slot - after 11pm on a Saturday. In 1972 French television produced a series entitled, " Les Rois Maudits", which was screened on BBC 2 with English subtitles. ![]() |
