About This Novel
Nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature 21 times, the true "Uncrowned King" of the Nobel Prize, the work of Graham Greene, one of the British novelists widely praised by experts and loved by readers throughout the Western world in the 20th century, is a masterpiece in the field of writer's autobiography, and has been translated by Lu Gusun, a leading figure in British and American literature research and the compiler of the "English-Chinese Dictionary". Green's literary creation and achievements are closely related to his ideological contradictions and even mental illness. His life is like his novels, and he himself is a character in his works. In the late period of his life and creation, he deliberately calmed down and recounted his life and ideological experiences from the beginning, thus creating two masterpieces in the field of autobiography: "Life Was Like This" (1971) and "The Road to Escape" (1980). "The Guardian" and "The Times Literary Supplement" honestly praised it as "one of the most outstanding achievements in autobiographical writing". In "Life Was Like This", Green recalls his student days and Oxford years, how he encountered psychoanalysis and Russian roulette in adolescence, his marriage and conversion to Catholicism, and how he hurriedly resigned from The Times after the publication of his first novel to become a professional writer.
