Erstausgabe
First Edition, First Printing. Text in English and French. Hardcover. 190 pages,16 x 22.5 cm. Very fine without dust jacket as issued. As the publisher notes: ÒAmongst the foreign celebrities who chose the Swiss Riviera as home base, even if it was just temporarily, the English author Graham Greene (2nd October 1904, Berkhamsted Ð 3rd April 1991, Vevey) strikes us as the most remarkable. How did this cosmopolitan author, roguish adventurer, journalist, reporter and witness to the great world conflicts of his time, wind up on the gentle shores of Lake Geneva? This study,Êcomplete with previously unpublished photographs and documents, presents Graham GreeneÕs Swiss connections and reveals unknown aspects of his life and work. Complemented by extensive analytical notes, it provides numerous leads for researchers and admirers of the great British writer. His role as an agent on Her MajestyÕs Secret Service and his relations with the Soviet Union, the writing of his novelÊDr. Fischer of GenevaÊand its film adaptation (featuring James Mason, Greta Scacchi and Alan Bates), his choice of dreams for his final work.ÊA World of My Own, his home in Corseaux and the last few months before his death are all subjects tackled in this study by Pierre Smolik.Ó.
