The idea for the novel “The Quiet American” came to Graham Greene after he visited Indochina as a war correspondent for the London Times. The publication of the book provoked a scandal, and Greene was dubbed “the most anti-American writer.” But time has put everything in its place: the novel has become a recognized classic, and its name has become a household name for American politicians who forcefully instill Western values in third world countries. Vietnam in the early 50s of the twentieth century, Saigon. The pearl of Southeast Asia, a colonial paradise engulfed in the flames of war. “Hawks” flocked here from all parts of the world in the hope of snatching a tasty morsel. Against the backdrop of tough, cynical politicians, a naive young man stands out - the “quiet American” Alden Pyle, who dreams of bringing goodness and the light of democracy throughout the world. However... who said it: “Fear the Danaans who bring gifts...”?
