Graham Greene constructs a searing narrative that uncovers the paradox of a man fleeing his own celebrity and faith, only to find himself entangled once more in the lives of those around him. The novel presents its themes with Greene's characteristic moral seriousness and psychological precision, drawing on his own experiences in Africa to illustrate the corrosive effects of fame, disillusionment, and the absence of belief. A deeply introspective work, it stands as one of Greene's most personally resonant novels, asking whether a man who has lost all capacity for feeling can ever truly be redeemed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956205531355,"sku":"2026200011178-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/a8e14caf-bb88-4d96-8294-141528f210f2.png?v=1783499057","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011178-secondhand-a-burnt-out-case","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
