Graham Greene

Graham Greene was one of the leading novelists of the twentieth century. Greene was a journalist, travel writer, short story writer, novelist, dramatist, and a film scriptwriter". He was born on October 2, 1904 in Berkhamsted, England. He was the fourth of six children of his parents, Charles Henry Greene and Marion Raymond Greene. His father was the Headmaster of an English public school at Berkhamsted. Greene was educated at this school until he went up to Balliol College, Oxford. He found school life rather difficult. He had a difficult childhood, and he attempted suicide on a number of occasions. After an episode when he was sixteen years, in 1920, in what was a radical step for the time, he was sent for psychoanalysis for six months in London. Later he returned to school as a day student. His therapist, Kenneth Richmond suggested that he took to writing as a way to deal with his troubled emotions.

Graham Greene’s Novels

Graham Greene’s first novel, The Man Within, appeared in 1929. It is a novel about a betrayal and it is set against a background of skeptical romance. The sense of sin does not predominate in this novel, as it does in his later works. The protagonist, Andrews, betrays his friend and leader, but does not account it a sin, though the feeling of sinfulness clouds his mind when he is seduced by Merriman’s mistress. However, it was his fourth novel, Stamboul Train, published in 1932, which established his reputation as a novelist of promise.
