Mirni Amerikanac

Mirni Amerikanac

Graham Greene

The Quiet American (1955) is set in Vietnam in the 1950s, during the French colonial struggle against the insurgents. Through the atmosphere of Saigon, Greene creates a tense story of love and political intrigue, with a strong critique of the Vietnam War

The story follows Thomas Fowler, a cynical British journalist in Saigon, who reports on the war but avoids deeper political engagement. His life, marked by a love affair with a young Vietnamese woman Phuong, is complicated by the arrival of Alden Pyle, a seemingly naive and idealistic American.

Pyle, who works for the American Economic Mission, is actually a CIA agent supporting the anti-Communist "Third Power" under General Thé. His idealism and belief in the spread of democracy lead to tragic consequences, including bombings that kill civilians. Fowler, though aloof, becomes increasingly involved when Pyle takes an interest in Phuong, creating a love triangle. Fowler's neutrality slowly crumbles as he discovers Pyle's dangerous activities, culminating in his moral dilemma: should he intervene and stop Pyle.

The novel explores themes of colonialism, American interventionism, and moral ambiguity. Greene criticizes naive idealism and its devastating consequences, while Fowler's introspection reveals the conflict between personal desires and responsibility.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

The atmosphere of London from the 19th century, the fog and mystery of the English province, bizarre murders and clever case solving, certainly point us to the famous detective created by the writer and doctor Arthur Conan Doyle.
