Graham Greene (2nd Oct. 1904 – 3rd April 1991) Graham Greene was an English author, playwright and literary critic. His works explore the ambivalent moral and political issues of the modern world. He was one of the most widely read novelists of the 20th century, a superb storyteller. Adventure and suspense are constant elements in his novels and many of his books have been made into successful films. His long stylistic journey from The Man Within (1929) to The Tenth Man (1985) has its own class and the style of writing he has adopted in all of his books is superb. Greene was also associated with many famous figures of his times: T.S. Eliot, Herbert Read, Evelyn Waugh, Ian Fleming among others. He died peacefully in Vevey, Switzerland on April 3, 1991.
