In this story of what happened to a certain man named Scobie, Graham Greene has delved deep into character and handled dramatic situations with relentless suspense. Scobie's background is a British-governed town on the west coast of Africa. Here he bears the triple burden of Colonial responsibility, of a wife he no longer loves, and of her excessive ambition for him. Major Scobie possesses a deep inner belief-the faith of a Catholic; Greene makes the meaning of this real even to unbelievers.

To many listeners, Scobie's story will be that of a man increasingly enmeshed in love, in intrigue, and in evil, and these listeners will properly enjoy it for its marvelous narrative skill. To many others, it will be primarily a story of man's conflict with himself; a conflict between passion and faith, fought out on the battleground of his own personality.
