Présentation de l'éditeur :
This third and final volume of Norman Sherry's biography takes Graham Greene from the very real peril of Cuba to the rigours of the Belgian Congo, through tumultuous Haiti, Nicaragua and Panama, his confrontation with the French mafia, and then into Spain, up to a quiet death at eighty-six, in Switzerland.
Sherry illuminates Greene's mind and methods, models and motivation, from his heady success and surprising failure as a playwright; the wrenching loss of his beloved Catherine Walston and the deep but different love affairs that followed; to his final forays into the evil, fulminating trouble spots of the world which beckoned as sirens all his days.
With exclusive access to Greene's letters, journals and dream-diaries, Norman Sherry has written a monumental tribute to one of the greatest of English writers. The three volumes of The Life of Graham Greene will remain the standard work on Greene for decades to come.

"Sherry, continues to pursue his quarry to rewarding effect, ending with a flourish what must surely be one of literature's finest biographies." (William Trevor Spectator)
"Sherry can be proud of his stupendous achievement, and Greene himself could want no better or more accurate a monument than this." (Simon Heffer Literary Review)
"Representing literary biography at its finest, Sherry's book surpasses others in the field...whereas other biographies are as entertaining as their subject's real-life experiences, but rarely their imagination, Sherry enhances Green's intellectual achievement." (Observer)
