Here he bears the triple burden of Colonial responsibility, of a wife he no longer loves, and of her excessive ambition for him. Major Scobie possesses a deep inner belief-the faith of a Catholic [...] Greene makes the meaning of this real even to unbelievers.” - from the dj.

GREENE, Graham In Search of a Character : Two African Journals. lacking mylar cover.

Decorated endpapers. 8vo, green cloth spine with swirl-patterned paper covered boards, gilt lettering to spine. "This is one of 600 advance copies of In Search of a Character, specially designed for friends of the author and the publishers, Christmas 1961." - from p.[i]. A selection of two of Greene's travel journals, containing experiences which played major roles in providing inspiration to two of his more popular novels. The first account, and serving as the bulk of this volume, entitled "Congo Journal", documents Greene's journey into the heart of the Belgian Congo in January through March, 1959 - upon which his experiences would aid his construction of the novel "A Burnt-Out Case", set in the Congo, released the following year. Greene "went to the Belgian Congo... with a novel already beginning to form in [his] head by way of a situation - a strange who turns up in a remote leper-colony" (p. xiii). The second account is of great nautical interest, entitled "Convoy to West Africa". It documents Greene's voyage from Liverpool to Freetown by way of Belfast from December 9th, 1941 to January 3rd, 1942, aboard a 5,000-ton oil-driven cargo ship, as a part of a Royal Navy convoy. Includes his accounts ofpartaking in boat drills and submarine watches. His journey to and experie nces in Sierra Leone provided much of the basis for one of his masterworks,"The Heart of the Matter", published in 1948.
