The Quiet American

GRAHAM GREENE

WORLD BOOKS

A The story is set in Vietnam. The main characters are Thomas Fowler, a British journalist in his fifties, Alden Pyle, a young idealist American and a young Vietnamese woman called Phuong. It is a time of conflict in Vietnam and Fowler and Pyle face many dangers. This is complicated by the fact that they are both in love with the same woman. Pyle saves Fowler's life, but then he discovers that Pyle is involved in a bombing that killed innocent people.

B The Quiet American, was written by the British author, Graham Greene in 1955. It is a political thriller and an anti-war novel that draws on Greene's own experiences as a war correspondent. It is considered a classic work of fiction.

C I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading thrillers. It is a thought-provoking book that you will not be able to put down.

D The intriguing plot is extremely clever. It gives a realistic description of the evils of war as well as an insight into world politics at that time in history. What adds to the novel's appeal is that the main character is not very likeable. He is very cynical, but this makes him all the more interesting and realistic.
