Power and Glory (collected Works of Graham Greene)
About This Novel
Nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature 21 times, the true "uncrowned king" of the Nobel Prize, and recognized as a masterpiece by Graham Greene, one of the British novelists widely praised by experts and loved by readers throughout the Western world in the 20th century, it was selected as one of the "Top 100 English Novels of the 20th Century" by Time Magazine and translated by the famous translator Fu Weici. Green divides his works into two categories: "serious novels" and "entertainment novels". "The Power and the Glory" is one of the most famous "serious novels" and one of Graham Greene's most highly regarded by experts and praised by readers. The novel is based on the author's two months' experience in Mexico in March and April 1938, during which he spent five weeks traveling alone and exhausted between the southern states of Tabasco and Chiapas. "The Power and the Glory" contains un-British Roman Catholic elements while being steeped in Manichean darkness and a faithful depiction of suffering. It can be called Green's most ambitious work.
