Wien in der Nachkriegszeit: Die vier Besatzungsmächte haben die Stadt aufgeteilt, der Schwarzmarkt blüht. Einer der mysteriösesten Schieber ist Harry Lime, der seinen Jugendfreund und Schriftsteller Rollo Martins nach Wien einlädt. Doch bei seiner Ankunft kommt er nur noch rechtzeitig zu Limes Bestattung. Angeblich ist dieser Opfer eines Autounfalls geworden. Martins beginnt nachzuforschen und stellt fest, dass Harry kein Kleinganove war, sondern der Kopf einer skrupellosen Schmugglerbande. Und immer wieder kreuzt ein ominöser dritter Mann seine Wege ... Greenes faszinierender Thriller, kongenial verfilmt von Carol Reed mit Orson Welles und Joseph Cotton, erscheint jetzt in exzellenter Neuübersetzung.

Der englische Honorarkonsul Charley Fortnum, dem Whisky verfallen, von Kidnappern gefangengehalten und von seiner jungen Frau betrogen, wird Dr. Eduardo Plarr gegenübergestellt, der zwischen Entführern, Polizei, Diplomaten, dem Honorarkonsul und dessen Frau - seiner Geliebten - zu lavieren hat; hier der Verstandesmensch, da ein Mann, dem sich jenseits von Ideologie und Religionen die Wahrheit erschließt. Der "Honorarkonsul" ist, wie viele Romane Graham Greenes, politischer und geistiger Zündstoff. Denn Greene steht auf Seiten der Unterdrückten - und das sind immer wieder andere.

Im Südafrika der Apartheid verliebt sich der Brite Maurice Castle in Sarah, eine schwarze Agentin. Obwohl sie von einem anderen Mann schwanger ist, heiratet er sie, nachdem ihr ein kommunistischer Freund zur Flucht nach England verholfen hat.

Graham Greenes berühmter Vietnam-Roman wieder im Programm: Ein desillusionierender und zugleich spannender Klassiker, der soeben verfilmt wurde. »Mit den Menschen, wie sie nun mal waren, mochten sie kämpfen, mochten sie lieben, mochten sie morden: Ich wollte nichts damit zu tun haben.« Der englische Journalist Thomas Fowler sieht den Kolonialkrieg der Franzosen in Vietnam mit kühler Distanz. Er interessiert sich mehr für seine vietnamesische Geliebte Phuong und die asiatische Lebensart als für Politik. Der Amerikaner Aldon Pyle dagegen arbeitet angeblich für eine Wirtschaftshilfe-Organisation und will, scheinbar naiv, sendungsbewußt und demokratiegläubig, etwas Gutes tun: »... einem Land, einem Kontinent, einer Welt«. Erstaunlicherweise benutzt er Plastikbomben dazu.
