One of the foremost novelists of the last century, Graham Greene left an indelible mark on the world of fiction. In his many masterpieces, he introduced his fans to ‘Greeneland’ – a shadowy world of sin, redemption, treachery and sexual betrayal, occupied by complex, ambivalent characters.

They represent the very best examples of his later work, written between 1951 and 1982, and together comprise nearly 17 hours of riveting drama.
