Description
In this story, Graham Greene delves deeply into character and handles dramatic situations with relentless suspense. Major Scobie’s background is a British-governed town on the west coast of Africa, where he bears the triple burden of Colonial responsibility, a wife he no longer loves, and her excessive ambition for him. Scobie possesses a deep inner belief, the faith of a Catholic; Greene makes the meaning of this real even to unbelievers. For some, Scobie’s story will be that of a man increasingly enmeshed in love, in intrigue, and evil. To others, it will be primarily a story of man’s conflict with himself, a conflict between passion and faith, fought out on the battleground of his own personality.
