About this product

Product Information

Graham Greene's classic exploration of love, innocence, and morality in Vietnam "I never knew a man who had better motives for all the trouble he caused," Graham Greene's narrator Fowler remarks of Alden Pyle, the eponymous "Quiet American" of what is perhaps the most controversial novel of his career. Pyle is the brash young idealist sent out by Washington on a mysterious mission to Saigon, where the French Army struggles against the Vietminh guerrillas. As young Pyle's well-intentioned policies blunder into bloodshed, Fowler, a seasoned and cynical British reporter, finds it impossible to stand safely aside as an observer. But Fowler's motives for intervening are suspect, both to the police and himself, for Pyle has stolen Fowler's beautiful Vietnamese mistress. Originally published in 1956 and twice adapted to film, The Quiet American remains a terrifiying and prescient portrait of innocence at large. This Graham Greene Centennial Edition includes a new introductory essay by Robert Stone. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

    The Quiet American

    After seeing the Movie, I had to have the Book. Once in my hands, I could not put it down. The story line intrigued me. Our CIA has meddled in other countries for far too long and Graham exposes a little bit how they (CIA Spooks) acted in Viet Nam and many other countries. False Flag ops, divide and conquer. They care little of the lives they take with their bombs in the name of Western Business Interests. The story has you reading faster as you try to guess what will happen next.

    Good book!

    Good book! Structured nicely to peak interests in the reader. I bought the book for a class, but would read it again outside a classroom. The book was a great value, and in excellent condition.
