Abstract

This paper deals with the literary world of Graham Greene’s work who, with suspense and police terror, adventures, intrigue, and persecutions leads us to the supernatural world of sin and grace. It is not only a novel for entertainment, but the work of an author that has been able to show, from the police genre, the close relation between his real life as a spy and his creative work as a novelist. So, a question arises, Was Greene a novelist and also a spy? Or was his literary career the perfect screen for his main activity as a spy?
