Twenty-One Stories: Graham Greene

A celebrated collection of stories from one of the most important British writers of the twentieth century. Features Greene`s most famous short story, `The Destructors`

Written between 1929 and 1954, each of these stories bears the hallmark themes that characterise Greene`s great novels: betrayal and vengeance, love and hate, pity and violence.

Opening with the iconic story `The Destructors`, in which a gang of schoolboys destroys a house that has survived the Blitz, Greene offers us deliciously satisfying glimpses into twenty-one worlds, with each piece written as masterfully as his novels. From the chilling climax of a children`s birthday party, to a man whose youthful indiscretions come back to haunt him, these are the unmistakable work of one of the twentieth century`s greatest and most adored storytellers.
