Indisputably one of the few masterful story-tellers of modern times, Graham Greene is considered by many to have produced his most powerful book in The Power and The Glory. Set in a remote section of Mexico, it unfolds the story of a hunted, driven, desperate man - a priest. He is first presented simply as the quarry of an organized hunt; then, as the focus sharpens, the man himself is revealed in terms of the driving terror that motivates his flight. Against a background of exotic scenes and characters, the tale is not only a brilliant drama of suspense, but a profound psychological adventure.
