Description
A master at building and maintaining suspense, Graham Greene divided his work into two categories, the first being the serious novels, many of which are theologically oriented. The others are entertainments. The Power and the Glory is serious and theological. It is the story of a whiskey priest who is hunted by Communist authorities during the religious persecution in Mexico. Despite his own sense of worthlessness for being a heavy drinker and fathering an illegitimate child, he is determined to continue to function as a priest until captured. He is contrasted with Padre José, a priest who has accepted marriage and embodies humiliation. Graham Greene, along with many of the critics, felt that The Power and the Glory was his greatest work.
