Description
A celebrated collection of stories from one of the most important British writers of the twentieth century. This collection features Greene's most famous short story, 'The Destructors', alongside twenty other masterfully crafted tales.
Written between 1929 and 1954, these stories showcase Greene's hallmark themes - betrayal and vengeance, love and hate, pity and violence - in deliciously satisfying glimpses into twenty-one different worlds. From the chilling climax of a children's birthday party to a man whose youthful indiscretions come back to haunt him, each piece is written with the same skill as his novels.
