His cold-blooded killing of a European Minister of War is an act of violence with chilling repercussions, not just for Raven himself but for the nation as a whole. The money he receives in payment for the murder is made up of stolen notes and when the first of these is traced, Raven becomes a man on the run. As he tracks down the agent who has been double-crossing him and attempts to elude the police, he becomes both hunter and hunted: an unwitting weapon of a strange kind of social justice. In doing so, he sets the stage for Greene's next novel, \u003ci\u003eBrighton Rock\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eThis Penguin Classics edition features an introduction by Samuel Hynes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Academy Award-winning actor Colin Firth (\u003ci\u003eThe King's Speech\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Single Man\u003c\/i\u003e) turns in an authentic and stirring performance for this distinguished audio release. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe End of the Affair\u003c\/i\u003e, set in London during and just after World War I, is the story of a flourishing love affair between Maurice Bendrix and Sarah Miles. After a violent episode at Maurice's apartment, Sarah suddenly and without explanation breaks off the affair. This very intimate story about what actually constitutes love is enhanced by Mr. Firth's narration, who said this book struck me very, very particularly at the time when I read it and I thought my familiarity with it would give the journey a personal slant. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI'm grateful for this honor, Firth said when this production was recognized by the Audie Awards as Audiobook of the Year for 2013, and grateful for the opportunity to narrate one of my favorite stories. A great novel told in the first person makes for the best script an actor could imagine. None better than \u003ci\u003eThe End of the Affair\u003c\/i\u003e. Theater and film each offer their own challenges and rewards, but narration is a new practice for me and the audiobook performance provides exhilarating possibilities for both actors and listeners. I'm thrilled to be involved in bringing this remarkable work of fiction to a wider audience, and thankful to Audible for offering me the opportunity to perform it and to engage with so many who share my passion for storytelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52390924517649,"sku":"GOR002498977","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53121371013393,"sku":"GOR002719398","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780434305605.jpg?v=1758529929"},{"product_id":"gun-for-sale-book-graham-greene-9780434305575","title":"A Gun for Sale","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52693494989073,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52693495120145,"sku":"GOR005640429","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780434305575.jpg?v=1762356649"},{"product_id":"stamboul-train-book-graham-greene-9780370014982","title":"Stamboul Train","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53039304835345,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53039304868113,"sku":"GOR003506309","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780370014982.jpg?v=1768838286"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/the-collected-edition-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
