Riassunto

The Man Within tells the story of Andrews, a young man who has betrayed his fellow smugglers and fears their vengeance. Fleeing from them, with no hope of pity or salvation, he takes refuge in the house of a young woman, also alone in the world. She persuades him to give evidence against his accomplices in court, but neither she nor Andrews is aware that to both criminals and authority treachery is as great a crime as smuggling.

Recensione

"Full of treasures for Greene enthusiasts: a complex web of betrayal and deceit and a tormented central character" (Observer)

"From the beginning Greene was fascinated by the thriller, which has at its heart deceit, an idea or an ideal betrayed, emotion hidden behind a mask" (Guardian)

"Greene had wit and grace and character and story, and a transcendant, universal compassion that places him for all time in the ranks of world literature" (John Le Carre)

"He was a writer who was intensely interested in the world more than in books or ideas. And this is why he was such a good story-teller. He was the least parochial of writers yet he was always interested in the particular" (John Berger)

"One of our greatest authors... For experience of a whole century he was the man within" (Independent)
