A)Travels with my aunt. Penguin 1977 pocket 265s
En hæderlig mand drages ind i en række lyssky affærer af en noget vidtløftig dame, der præsenterer sig som hans tante. Henry Pulling, a retired bank manager, meets his septuagenarian Aunt Augusta for the first time in over fifty years at what he supposes to be his mother's funeral. Soon after, she persuades Henry to abandon Southwood, his dahlias and the Major next door to travel her way, Brighton, Paris, Istanbul, Paraguay. Through Aunt Augusta, a veteran of Europe's hotel bedrooms, Henry joins a shiftless, twilight society: mixing with hippies, war criminals, CIA men; smoking pot, breaking all the currency regulations and eventually coming alive after a dull suburban life. In Travels With My Aunt Graham Greene not only gives us intoxicating entertainment but also confronts us with some of the most perplexing of human dilemmas.
B) Reflections. Penguin 1991 paperback - 332s
Selected an introduced by Judith Adamson "This remarkable and intimate collection of writing brings together Graham Greene's reflections on his life and interests over the last seven decades. In Reflections, he is revealed in all his complexity: as traveller, as political observer, as critic, and as a novelist and storyteller whose restless curiosity and intellectual sensitivity have given readers around the world a unique and penetrating view of the essence of contemporary life. Reflections, selected by Judith Adamson with Graham Greene, is a collection of the best of Graham Greene's previously unpublished writings--essays and reviews, even fragments of novels, accounts of places long ago visited, diary extracts, and articles that confirm the breadth and brilliance
