DESCRIPTION - In this pioneering work, the author has attempted to make a systematic and detailed study of the existential features of Graham Greene's works. After tracing the growth of ' 'the existential man in Greene's own life, the author has closely analysed all the major works of Greene, including The Human Factor published in 1978, with a view to determining the extent of their similarity with existential writings in both plot and character. In this process he has analysed Greene's treatment of broadly existential themes like alienation, boredom, absurdity, anxiety, disgust, individual freedom, leap of faith, etc., and has pointed out remark- able parallels between the work of Greene, on the one hand, and those of the existential writers like Marcel, Kierkegaard, Dostoyevsky, Sartre and Camus, on the other. Chapters The Existential Chris- tian and S 'The Existential Humanist contribute substantially to a better appreciation of Graham Greene's fiction and his themes as a writer. No less valuable are the chapters on Greene's short stories and plays which had hardly received the critical attention deserved by them. The book embodies an original interpretation of Graham Greene's work and it is quite satisfactory in its presentation of the subjects The lucidity of style and the careful analysis of passages from the novels, short stories and plays will make this a valuable book for the general reader as well as the specialist. inventory #7735.
