Graham Greene – Our Man In Havana – First Edition 1958
£125.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘Our Man in Havana’, published by Heinemann in 1958. A very good book with a little dustiness to the top edge and some spotting. In a very good or better clipped dust wrapper with small repaired tear to the top of the rear flap.
Set in Cuba. Greene uses the novel to mock intelligence services, especially the British MI6, and their willingness to believe reports from their local informants. The book predates the Cuban Missile Crisis, but certain aspects of the plot, notably the role of missile installations, appear to anticipate the events of 1962.
