En savoir plus sur le livre
Graham Greene's classic exploration of love, innocence, and morality in Vietnam presents a complex narrative centered around Alden Pyle, the "Quiet American." Pyle is a brash young idealist sent to Saigon on a mysterious mission during the French Army's struggle against the Vietminh guerrillas. As Pyle's well-intentioned policies lead to unintended bloodshed, Fowler, a seasoned and cynical British reporter, finds it increasingly difficult to remain an impartial observer. However, Fowler's motives for intervening are questionable, both to the authorities and to himself, particularly as Pyle has taken away his beautiful Vietnamese mistress. Originally published in 1956, The Quiet American remains a terrifying and prescient portrait of innocence in a tumultuous world, exploring the moral complexities of intervention and the consequences of idealism.
