Graham Greene

De **Graham Greene**, gebuer als *Henry Graham Greene* den 2. Oktober 1904 zu Berkhamsted, am Hertfordshire, a gestuerwen den 3. Abrëll 1991 zu Vevey an der Schwäiz, war e brittesche Schrëftsteller.

Hien huet seng Karriär als Zeitungsredakter ugefaangen. An den 1930er huet hie Filmkriticke geschriwwen an ass vill doruechter gereest, wat en dono a sengen Erzielunge verschafft huet. Wärend dem Zweete Weltkrich huet hie fir de britteschen Auslandsgeheimdéngscht a Westafrika geschafft.

Seng Romaner haten zum Deel grousse Succès, an thematiséieren ëmmer nees zentral Theeme vun der *human condition* wéi Schold, (On-)Glawen a Verrot, meeschtens am Kader vun enger Abenteur-, Kriminal- oder Spionagegeschicht. Hie war géint de Kolonialismus a seng Aberratiounen, géint d'US-amerikanesch Aussepolitik a Mëttel- a Südamerika an an Indochina, an huet sech dacks kritesch mat der Kierch auserneegesat; säi Roman *The Power and the Glory* gouf 1953 op den Index gesat.

Wärend a sengen éischte Romaner dacks eng driibseg, schappeg Atmosphär den Toun ugëtt, kënnt a senge méi spéide Romaner dacks e gudde Schotz schwaarzen Humor zum Ausdrock. De Greene huet sech dacks gelangweilt gefillt an huet vill gedronk, fir dees lass ze ginn. A ville Romaner spillt Alkohol dann och eng grouss Roll, wéi z.&nbsp;B. an der decisiver Zeen vun *Our man in Havanna*.

Nieft Romaner huet de Graham Greene och Theaterstécker (säin éischt Stéck *The living-room* war e grousse Succès), autobiographesch Texter (z.&nbsp;B. *Ways of Escape*) an Dréibicher geschriwwen (z.&nbsp;B. vun *[[The Third Man]]* an *The Comedians*).

Eng jett vu senge Romaner goufe vu Regisseure wéi John Ford, Otto Preminger, Joseph L. Mankiewicz, Neil Jordan oder Carol Reed (*The Third Man, Our Man in Havanna*) verfilmt.
