Our Man in Havana

“Our Man in Havana” by Graham Greene is an espionage mystery novel. Graham Greene was born in 1904 and educated at Berkhamsted School, where his father was headmaster. In all he has written forty novels, entertainments, plays, children’s books, travel books, and collections of essays and short stories. He was made a Companion of Honour in 1966, and was given the O.M. in the 1986 New Year’s Honours List. The setting is Havana, Cuba in 1958. …

…the events and a grand climax grips the Greene fan and the uninitiated alike. Greene himself was an MI-6 agent. Is he trying to put across something about MI-6 or the secret services in general? Anyway, the theme I have learned from this novel is that lying might bring happiness, however in the long run it can lead to your demise. This book was produced for all ages of readers. It is a definite classic.
