Graham Greene
Graham Greene (1904-1991) was an English author of literary fiction and thriller novels, non-fiction, short stories, poetry, plays, screenplays and more. His writing explored ambivalent moral and political issues of the world at the time. Greene’s work often contained Catholic themes, although he objected to being referred to as a “Catholic novelist.” He spent the final years of his life living in Switzerland, in the same town as Charlie Chaplin (the two were close friends).

Graham Greene became a published author in 1925 with the poetry collection Babbling April. His first novel was The Man Within, published in 1929. His final novel was The Captain and the Enemy, which was published in 1988. Below is a list of Graham Greene’s books in order of when they were originally published:
