Graham Greene, 1940
GREENE, Graham (1904-1991). The Power and the Glory. London, 1940.
A fine copy of the first edition of what is arguably Greene's greatest novel (the other contender, Brighton Rock, he labelled an "entertainment"). In The Power and the Glory, “Greene’s masterly facility at concocting thriller plots and his rather blithely morbid sensibility had come together, at a high level of intelligence and passion, with the strict terms of an inner religious debate that had not yet wearied him” (Updike). Connolly The Modern Movement 88.
Octavo. Original cloth; printed dust jacket (a little tanning to white area of spine panel, a trifle rubbing to spine panel ends); custom box.
