biography
Distinguished English novelist and playwright who wrote a number of screenplays and had several of his works adapted for the screen, most notably "The Third Man" (1949). Greene divided his books into what he labeled "entertainments" (mostly psychological thrillers such as "This Gun For Hire", "The Confidential Agent" and "Our Man in Havana") and "novels" (works dealing with moral, religious or political themes, such as "Brighton Rock", "The Power and the Glory", "The Heart of the Matter" and "The Quiet American"). Greene consistently expressed dissatisfaction with filmed versions of his work
