Keywords:
Modern Age, Graham Greene, Novels analysisAbstract
An enduring feature of Greene’s fiction is the keenness to look at the disgusting face of the twentieth century. Greene’s fiction dwells on the conflicts and pains of the modern world. He used the powerful imagination that led him to speak of his work as a “guided dream.” That imagination fired by intense moral and religious perception and made Greene’s fiction the best-realized portrayal in its time. The paper undertakes an analysis of stark portrayal of the modern age through Graham Greene’s novels
