Forlagsbeskrivelse af The Honorary Consul af Graham Greene
A gripping tragicomedy of a bungled kidnapping in a provincial Argentinean town, considered to be one of Greene's finest novels. Charley Fortnum is the 'Honorary Consul', a whisky-sodden figure of dubious authority taken by a group of rebels. A gripping tragicomedy of a bungled kidnapping in a provincial Argentinean town, considered to be one of Greene''s finest novels. In a provincial Argentinian community, Charley Fortnum - a British consul with dubious authority and a notorious fondness for drink - is kidnapped by rebels in a case of mistaken identity. The young but world-weary Doctor Eduardo Plarr, is left to pick up the pieces and secure Fortnum''s release, wading through a sea of incompetence and unearthing corruption among authorities and revolutionaries in the process. First published in 1973, The Honorary Consul was one of Greene''s own favourites of his works and is regarded amongst his finest novels, with Plarr perhaps the most moving and convincing figure in his fiction. WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY NICHOLAS SHAKESPEARE''Perhaps the most enduring novel that even he has given us'' Daily Mail
