 | The Quiet American by Graham Greene, John C. Pratt, Simon Cadell
A tale of politics and personal loyalties set in Vietnam in the 1950s. The narrator is an English journalist named Fowler who lives with his Vietnamese mistress Phuong but is unable to convince his Catholic wife to grant him a divorce. In Saigon Fowler meets Pyle, an American intelligence agent who talks of setting up a third force to oppose both the colonial powers and the Communist rebels. Fowler finds Pyle and his notions distasteful in their naivete, but he is curious about the the real nature of Pyle`s work in Saigon. A growing conviction that Pyle is orchestrating a campaign of terror coincides with Fowler`s discovery that Phuong has abandoned him to marry Pyle, and leads Fowler to an involvement in local affairs that is as personal as it is political.
