Interpretation As Books The Honorary Consul

The Honorary Consul, Graham Greene
The Honorary Consul is a British thriller novel by Graham Greene, published in 1973. It was one of the author's own favourite works. The title is a reference to the diplomatic position known as an honorary consul. The story is set in the city of Corrientes, part of the Argentine Littoral, on the shore of the Paraná River. Eduardo Plarr is an unmarried medical doctor of English descent who when a boy left Paraguay with his mother to escape the political turmoil for Buenos Aires. His English father remained in Paraguay as a political rebel and aside from a single hand-delivered letter, they never hear from him again. ....

Write-Up Of Books The Honorary Consul

Not the Best, but Indubitably Greene Doctor Eduardo Plarr stood in the small port on the Paraná, among the rails and yellow cranes, watching where a horizontal plume of smoke stretched over the Chaco. It lay between the red bars of the sunset like a stripe on a national flag. Doctor Plarr found himself alone at that hour except for the one sailor who was on guard outside the maritime building. It was an evening which, by some combination of failing light and the smell of an unrecognized plant,

Regarded as one his own favorite works, this novel rightly categorized as a tragi-comedy as opposed to a spy novel in Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hon...) depicts an unmarried physician in his early thirties called Dr Eduardo Plaar (nicknamed Ted) who has lived in an Argentinian provincial town, Correintes. Interestingly, "The Honorary Consul" itself refers to Charles Fortnum, an alcoholic divorcee in his sixties; when I first browsed its title I misunderstood him as the sole

Any modern novel set in Central Africa or South America that features a weary middle-aged man as its protagonist is invariably compared to a book from Graham Greene's oeuvre. To me, the country where he places his characters (Argentina, Sierra Leone, Mexico, Vietnam) isn't important, it's only the fact that they are outsiders, keeping British values in countries where these moral codes have become irrelevant, that is significant.Although the setting of Greene's books is interchangeable, the

This book doesnt seem to have much of reputation as some of Greenes other works, which is too bad as it is excellent and even brilliant. In fact it might be one of my favorites. This has every element I look for in a Greene novel but with a stronger emotional charge. The characters with their foibles seem to be a cast for a comedy but instead are players in a heart wrenching tragedy. Like in his Comedians the line between slit your wrist despair and humor is very hard to find though the sadness

I haven't read any other of Graham Green's work. It is funny that I should have started with this, which is referred to as one his later works. I had mixed feelings from the start. For one, I was excited about reading Green. And, I was drawn back by my own limited understanding of his style, though delicate and touching. Enter Plarr, aged and a doctor of patients he f***s. And the rest of the bunch who orchestrate a kidnapping. Need not be said they know nothing about professional kidnapping.

The Honorary Consul ranks with the best of Graham Greene's work. It takes me back to my teenage years, when I loved such of his works as The Power and the Glory and The Heart of the Matter. Greene cared a great deal about crises of faith. When I was young, I had none: I was a good Catholic boy. Then, later, things grew more complex. I love that moral complexity in Greene.This book is about a botched kidnapping. A mixed group of Paraguayan and Argentinian "terrorists" attempt to take the American

Amongst the better works by Greene. A thriller set in Argentina with dash of theology and Greene's soothing/likeable narration makes this book a good read. Does not move you to tears and doesn't make you laugh out loud but does make you turn pages without giving in to cheap thrills as good books should.
