Synopsis"Graham Greene's masterpiece" - John Updike) In a poor, remote section of Southern Mexico, the paramilitary group, the Red Shirts have taken control. God has been outlawed, and the priests have been systematically hunted down and killed. Now, the last priest is on the run. Too human for heroism, too humble for martyrdom, the nameless little worldly "whiskey priest" is nevertheless impelled toward his squalid Calvary as much by his own compassion for humanity as by the efforts of his pursuers.

With more than 1,500 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

Sparse and intense
The End of the Affair is one of my top ten novels, but, I had ventured little into Graham Greene's other works. Following a re-read of John Irving's' The Imaginary Girlfriend I was enthused to seek out his other books. I was not disappointed. If you are a fan of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, this will feel like the experience when reading Chronicle of a Death Foretold. Next up, Brighton Rock .Verified purchase: YesCondition: Gebraucht
