A comic masterpiece from one of the twentieth century's most celebrated novelists, Travels with My Aunt chronicles the adventures of Henry Pulling, a retired and thoroughly conventional bank manager whose life is upended when he meets his eccentric Aunt Augusta at his mother's funeral. Augusta promptly drags Henry across Europe and beyond — from Brighton to Istanbul to Paraguay — introducing him to a cast of smugglers, secret agents, and lovers from her scandalous past. Written with Greene's signature wit and irony, the novel argues that a life lived cautiously is no life at all, gently dismantling Henry's respectable existence one border crossing at a time. By turns hilarious and profound, it stands as a joyful celebration of spontaneity, freedom, and the unexpected bonds of family.
