Graham Greene (1904–1991) was a British novelist, journalist, film critic, playwright and screenwriter. He studied modern history at Balliol College, Oxford, and began his career as a subeditor at The Times before working as a film critic for The Spectator. His best-known works include The Power and the Glory, The Quiet American and The Third Man. Many of his novels were successfully adapted for film, and Greene himself wrote several screenplays. He converted to Catholicism in 1934, and religious and moral conflict became recurring themes in his fiction. Greene was repeatedly considered a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature and is regarded as one of the major writers of the 20th century.
