Fiction
A Burnt-Out Case (Classic, 20th-Century, Penguin)
Greene sends his architect to a Congo leper colony to explore what happens when success feels like death. Querry's spiritual paralysis finds its cure in the most unlikely place, among people society has written off. This book belongs to readers who've felt the weight of achievement turn hollow, who understand that sometimes you have to lose yourself completely to find anything worth saving. The binding holds together Greene's most psychologically penetrating work.
