Description
The Honorary Consul is a gripping tragicomedy of a bungled kidnapping in a provincial Argentinean town. Charley Fortnum, a British consul with dubious authority, is mistakenly taken by rebels, leaving the young Doctor Eduardo Plarr to navigate a complex web of incompetence and corruption.
As Plarr attempts to secure Fortnum's release, he uncovers a tangled landscape of authority and revolution, where the lines between right and wrong are constantly blurred. With its nuanced exploration of human nature and the complexities of politics, The Honorary Consul is a thought-provoking and deeply moving novel.
First published in 1973, this edition marks a special centenary celebration of Graham Greene's masterpiece, with an introduction by Nicholas Shakespeare.
