«El revés de la trama» is the novel by Graham Greene, published by Espasa-Calpe in paperback (341 pages, in Spanish).
Police commander Henry Scobie and his wife Louise have spent years in a remote British colony in West Africa, a stifling environment she longs to escape. Henry, an upright man who feels compassion rather than affection for his wife, sees his principles tested by the arrival of an unexpected visitor. The novel delves into betrayal, failure, faith, sacrifice and love to their ultimate consequences, and is inspired by Graham Greene's time in Sierra Leone during the war.
1993 edition in the Austral Collection (no. 307), with a prologue by the Duke of Alba and translation by J. R. Wilcock. Original work: The Heart of the Matter (1948), winner of the James Tait Black Memorial Prize.
For readers of literary fiction and twentieth-century classics interested in moral dilemmas, faith and characters in extreme situations.
Henry Graham Greene was an English writer and journalist regarded by many as one of the leading novelists of the 20th century.
