Our Man Down in Havana: The Story Behind Graham Greene's Cold War Spy Novel

Our Man Down in Havana: The Story Behind Graham Greene's Cold War Spy Novel

Christopher Hull

Blackstone Publishing
2019
cd
Exploring the backstory that led to the writing of Graham Greene's beloved satirical spy novel, Our Man Down in Havana evokes this pivotal time and place in the author's life.When US immigration authorities deported Graham Greene from Puerto Rico in 1954, the British author made an unplanned visit to Havana and discovered that "every vice was permissible and every trade possible" in a Caribbean fleshpot of mafia-run casinos and nude revues. The former MI6 officer had stumbled upon the ideal setting for a comic espionage story. Three years later, he returned in the midst of Fidel Castro's guerrilla insurgency against a US-backed dictator to begin writing his iconic novel Our Man in Havana. Twelve weeks after its publication, the Cuban Revolution triumphed in January 1959, soon transforming a capitalist playground into a communist stronghold.Combining biography, history, and politics, Our Man Down in Havana investigates the real story behind Greene's fictional one. This includes his many visits to a pleasure island that became a revolutionary island, turning his chance involvement into a political commitment. His Cuban novel describes an amateur agent who dupes his intelligence chiefs with invented reports about "concrete platforms and unidentifiable pieces of giant machinery." With eerie prescience, Greene's satirical tale had foretold the Cold War's most perilous episode, the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.Exploiting a wealth of archival material and interviews with key protagonists, Our Man Down in Havana delves into the story behind and beyond the author's prophetic Cuban tale, focusing on one slice of Greene's manic life: a single novel and its complex history.

Bill Unwin's pretense to be Hamlet in Graham Swift's novel Ever After

Bill Unwin's pretense to be Hamlet in Graham Swift's novel Ever After

Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 2,0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, language: English, abstract: "I am who I am. I am Bill Unwin (there, I declare myself ). I am Hamlet the Dane" (Swift 173). This citation neatly covers what Graham Swift's novel Ever After is about; a no one identifies himself with a world-famous figure, namely William Shakespeare's Hamlet, to provide some structure and meaning to his irrelevant existence. Swift tries to picture the insignificance of life and therefore, focuses the story of this middle-aged desperate and childless widower Bill Unwin, who recently survived an attempted suicide. Searching for clues to understand his life, Unwin addresses themes such as love, loss, identity, mortality, and the ephemeral nature of life. In order to give his own existence a sense of meaning, Bill empathizes with Hamlet, but in the end the reader has to discover that these two characters have nothing in common and Unwin's emptiness of life is stressed. So, if you take all of Unwin's fa ade and shape away he tried to construct from Hamlet, no meaning to his life, rather nothing remains, thus, this novel is to show how meaningless and transient life actually is. Therefore, to illustrate this occurrence in this paper, first of all, shared character traits between Bill Unwin and Hamlet the Dane are listed to later on destroy the illusion of Bill being Hamlet by outlining the differences between these two figures. Following, the emptiness of Unwin's life is pointed out and reasons of creating the protagonist like this are specified. Finally, Swift's intention is reached as the overall insignificance of life becomes obvious.

Le livre refl te une tude pure sur la m moire et le r cit, James Olney met le doigt sur l'un des aspects les plus illustratifs des crivains du vingti me si cle. Il affirme "qu'une recherche angoiss e du soi, travers les actes mutuellement r flexifs de la m moire et de la narration, accompagn e de la crainte obs dante que ce soit impossible d s le d but mais aussi impossible abandonner, est l'embl me m me de notre poque" (Olney 1998: xiv-xv). L' tude d'Olney porte sur le genre de l'autobiographie, et il pourrait donc sembler loign d'appliquer cette citation comme point de d part d'une discussion sur le roman de Graham Greene, The End of the Affair. Cependant, en tant que roman, The End of the Affair pr sente de nombreux l ments que l'on consid re g n ralement comme appartenant au genre de l'autobiographie et, en tant que tel, je pense qu'il est conforme l'affirmation d'Olney. Le projet et la situation difficile qu'Olney met en avant capturent l'humeur et l'atmosph re du roman tudi ici de mani re tr s succincte. L'objectif principal de cette th se sera d' tudier et, esp rons-le, d' clairer la mani re dont la m moire et la narration sont pr sent es comme deux complexes puissants l'oeuvre dans ce roman. N en 1904, Greene a t projet dans ce qui est largement consid r , du moins en ce qui concerne la litt rature, comme l'une des plus grandes r ussites de l'histoire.

Il libro riflette uno studio puro su Memoria e Narrativa, James Olney mette il dito su uno degli aspetti illustrativi degli scrittori del ventesimo secolo. Egli sostiene "che una ricerca agonizzante del s , attraverso gli atti reciprocamente riflessivi della memoria e della narrazione, accompagnata dall'ossessionante paura che sia impossibile fin dall'inizio ma anche impossibile da abbandonare, l'emblema stesso del nostro tempo" (Olney 1998: xiv-xv). Quello di Olney uno studio sul genere dell'autobiografia, e quindi potrebbe sembrare remoto applicare questa citazione come punto di partenza in una discussione sul romanzo di Graham Greene The End of the Affair. Come romanzo, tuttavia, The End of the Affair mostra molti elementi che sono comunemente pensati come appartenenti al genere dell'autobiografia, e come tale credo che sia in linea con l'affermazione di Olney. Il progetto e il predicament che Olney accentua catturano in modo molto succinto lo stato d'animo e l'atmosfera del romanzo qui in esame. L'obiettivo principale di questa tesi sar quello di indagare, e si spera illuminare, come la memoria e la narrazione si presentano come due potenti complessi all'opera in questo romanzo. Nato nel 1904, Greene stato gettato in quello che ampiamente considerato, almeno

Mönster i grönt. Graham Greene och 1900-talslitteraturens villkor

Oscar Jansson

Ellerströms Förlag
2021
nidottu
Historieskrivningen om Graham Greene utgår ofta från en handfull av hans romaner, trots att han under sju decennier också skrev noveller, essäer, dramatik, barnböcker, filmmanus – och dessutom var en ton­givande kritiker och förläggare. Hur blev det så? Hur kom ett livslångt författarskap att sammanfattas med några boktitlar? I Mönster i grönt utforskar Oscar Jansson hur förståelsen av Greenes författarskap tagit form, från debuten på 1920-talet fram till vår tid. Bilden som framträder visar en mångfacetterad författare som på en gång gynnats och begränsats av komplexiteten i 1900-talslitteraturens villkor: av bokmarknadens internationalisering, av ett alltmer varierat medialt landskap och av litteraturkritikens professionalisering.

Ruth, a Portrait: The Story of Ruth Bell Graham

Ruth, a Portrait: The Story of Ruth Bell Graham

Patricia Cornwell

Waterbrook Press
1998
nidottu
Ruth Bell Graham is known as the wife of evangelist Billy Graham. It was Ruth who influenced Billy, as his most trusted life-partner. In Ruth, a Portrait, we meet this fascinating and remarkable woman. Brimming with anecdotes, this is a breathtaking journey, with stops at many of this century's epoch-making events. The childhood years of the future Mrs. Billy Graham were spent light-years away--in the China of the 1920s and 1930s. The daughter of medical missionaries, she and her family were caught in a crucible of unspeakable hardship; in addition to pestilence and plague, there was the unstable political and military turmoil surrounding the Nationalist government, the Communists, and the Japanese invaders. These hazardous realities shaped Ruth Bell and her family, a family inured to difficulties, but buoyed up by their deep belief in God's abiding will. Virtually raised by the Grahams, the author is a repository of Ruth Bell Graham's stories and has seen firsthand the spirit of this courageous woman. Patricia Cornwell not only gives readers a full, rounded, and intimate portrait of Ruth Bell Graham, but also insight into the life of the Graham family and particularly Billy Graham.

The Last Refuge of the Mt. Graham Red Squirrel

The Last Refuge of the Mt. Graham Red Squirrel

University of Arizona Press

When the University of Arizona announced plans to build observatories on Mt. Graham, atop the Pinaleno Mountains, the construction was seen as a potential threat to an isolated species found only on this sky island. The Mt. Graham red squirrel was declared endangered? by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Legal action required the university to provide funds for research and monitoring the Mt Graham red squirrel. This book is derived from a symposium on the Mt. Graham red squirrel and offers a comprehensive picture of the ecology of this red squirrel and the impacts on its mountain home. Forty contributors detail studies conducted to understand the natural history of the creature and the challenges and changing ecological conditions on Mt. Graham. Each chapter tells a unique story that contributes to the mosaic of natural history knowledge about the endangered Mt. Graham red squirrel. They reflect diverse viewpoints on the problems of conserving the habitats and populations of the squirrel, showing how it was complicated by perspectives ranging from Native Americans? concern over traditional lands to astronomers hope for a better view of space, and by issues ranging from forestry practices to climate change. Studies of such factors as squirrel middens, seed hoarding, and nest sites provide definitive research on the animal.Ongoing censuses continue to track the squirrel's population trends, and both Forest Service and Arizona Department of Transportation activities continue to be scrutinized by interested parties to determine their impact. This book represents an authoritative overview of this still-endangered species and its habitat.
