The Graham Greene Birthplace Trust |
OTHER SITES OF INTEREST TO GRAHAM GREENE FANS |
| A search for 'Graham Greene' will provide a diverse array of returns, some relating to the Canadian actor, many simply selling Greene's books. The following list is derived from some two or three hours searching on different engines. It is not definitive. Not all content has been examined in detail. It is simply a list of sites that seemed, on first glance, to be worth an enthusiast's, or student's, further time. It will be periodically checked for relevance and, perhaps half-yearly, completely re-run. |

| Ramón Rami Porta http://justgoodcompany.com/2.1/rami_porta.engtext.htm Ramón Rami Porta is a practicing thoracic surgeon from Barcelona, Spain, who has been interested in Graham Greene since his years at medical school. From avid reader of Greene’s books, he progressively developed an interest in Greene’s life, which provided a more profound understanding of Greene’s work and religious thinking. Since the constitution of the Graham Greene Birthplace Trust in Berkhamsted, UK, in 1997, he has become a regular attendant of the annual Graham Greene Festival organized by the Trust, and an unconditional supporter of its activities to promote and maintain interest in Greene. In March and July 2003, he travelled the itinerary described in Monsignor Quixote -- described by The Spectator as "Graham Greene's best, most absorbing, adept and effortless novel" -- and this gave him the opportunity to reflect on the underlying message of this apparently light travel story. In this article, he gives us the result of his reflections. It is also an homage to Graham Greene in his first centennial. |
