Mr. Greene's reputation as a novelist (The Third Man, This Gun For Hire, etc.) is now rock-solid. But during the 1940s, while waiting for his novels to be first published and then noticed, Greene kept the lights turned on by selling short stories to the "slick" magazines. Here are 19 of his finest, originally published in hardcover by Viking in 1949. This is first paperback edition, 1955 by Lion Library. The stories in this text, all written between 1929 and 1954, share the themes that feature so strongly in Graham Greene's humour and violence, pity and hatred, betrayal and pursuit. They recount tales of indiscretions revealed and secrets uncovered.
