A gripping tragicomedy of a bungled kidnapping in a provincial Argentinean town, considered to be one of Greene's finest novels. Charley Fortnum is the 'Honorary Consul', a whisky-sodden figure of dubious authority taken by a group of rebels. As Eduardo Plarr, a local doctor, negotiates with revolutionaries and the authorities for Fortnum's release, the corruption of both becomes evident. In this spare, tense novel, Graham Greene explores the morality of a political system that turns priests into killers.

Is Graham Greene really the great novelist we think he is? ... In what way did he succeed in keeping his readership spellbound? ... What was the driving force behind his so-called 'Catholicism''... Was there a special reason for him to call The Honorary Consulhis favourite book'... Why is 'clock time' such a matter of great concern to those who otherwise believe the book to be his greatest'... And is there any reason for calling his characters 'empty' or 'full' - and anything in between - instead of just defining them flat or round'... The answers to these and many other intriguing questions are to be found in this captivating analysis of The Honorary Consulby Rudolf E. van Dalm. Instead of being only a study on Graham Greene, it has turned out to be a fascinating report on what makes Greene such an absorbing writer. One of the most gripping publications on the famous British author on the eve of the millennium, the book is both entertaining and instructive.

Set in a provincial Argentinean town, "The Honorary Consul" takes place in that bleak country of exhausted passion, betrayal, and absurd hope that Graham Greene has explored so precisely in such novels as "The Power and the Glory" and "The Comedians." On the far side of the great, muddy river that separates the two countries lies Paraguay, a brutal dictatorship shaken by sporadic revolutionary activity; on the near side, a torpid city whose only visible cultural institution is a brothel. The foreigners of the city are refugees, each washed up on the banks of the Parana by some inner disaster or defeat: Dr. Eduardo Plarr, a physician, whose English father has vanished into a Paraguayan prison, and for whom "caring is the only dangerous thing"; Humphries, a teacher of English, who has touched bottom and accepted it; Charley Fortnum, the Honorary Consul, who at the age of sixty-one, sustained by drink and his disputed status as British Consul, still retains enough hope and illusion to marry a twenty-year-old girl from Senora Sanchez' brothel... With gathering force, Graham Greene draws his characters into the political chaos that lies beneath the surface of South American life. Fortnum is kidnapped by Paraguayan revolutionaries who have mistaken him for the American Ambassador. Realizing their error, they threaten to execute him anyway if their demands are not met. Plarr, torn between his instinctive feeling for the revolutionaries -- one of whom is an old friend -- and his ambiguous relationship with Fortnum, whose wife he has taken as a lover, becomes involved in a tragicomedy that leads inexorably to a meaningless death. At the center of "The Honorary Consul" is Plarr, abrilliant Graham Greene creation, perhaps the most moving and convincing figure in his fiction. Plarr is a man so cut off from human feeling, so puzzled by the emotional needs of men like Fortnum, that he is paradoxically vulnerable, chillingly exposed, and required in the end Copyright © Libri GmbH.

An honorary diplomat is normally appointed by countries who cannot afford or do not wish to spend the substantial amounts required to set up an office... Appointing an honorary consul saves them the cost of supporting a staff and sending out their own citizens as full-time diplomatic representatives abroad. The work of an honorary consul is exactly the same as that of a career diplomat of the same rank. Typically, this work involves issuing or renewing visas and passports, helping businessmen and tourists with problems, promoting commerce and cultural exchanges, and above all, showing the flag by going to and giving parties. Of course, the honorary consul is expected to put in only a few unpaid hours of non-social business per week. Wining, dining and dancing are themajor activities. Smiling and being diplomatic is the major chores.An honorary consul general may serve his sending country in a major city or his jurisdiction may cover a substantial territory. He, or she, may have within this jurisdiction, lower ranking honorary consuls, vice-consuls, and Diplomatic Agents. A consul looks after a smaller city or town.The highest ranking foreign diplomat in a receiving country is an ambassador, who normally serves only in a national capital. Honorary Ambassadors are very rare. But less rare is the situation where a citizen of the receiving country is naturalized as a citizen of the sending country, and then returns to his own country (possibly as a dual-citizen) being appointed ambassador or consul general (not honorary).However, we will not get bogged down in such interesting possibilities on our first pages. The important thing to remember is that most countries appoint honorary consuls. Want to live the high life of a diplomat? Would you like social recognition, great parties, big-money contracts, preferential treatment? This truly unique book by W.G. Hill explores the exotic world of securing an appointment as an Honorary Consul. Many countries cannot afford to maintain all the consular representation they would like and can be persuaded to appoint Honorary Consuls instead. YOU would represent them in your own country, presumably for mutual benefit. Your appointment then becomes your key to a vastly expanded world of social and economic advantages and new opportunities. You will, of course, be expected to act diplomatically, smile a lot, and add that special touch of "class" to the many social functions you will attend. Hill himself served a number of years as an Honorary Consul, gaining the insights he shares in this limited-edition book. He details everything you need to know to secure your own appointment: Advantages/disadvantages; Diplomatic Immunity; Securing Appointment; Etiquette and Protocol; Diplomatic Passport; Choosing the right country to represent. He also illustrates sample letters, documents, and forms to use, as well as the addresses of countries to contact. Don't pass up this "chance of a lifetime" without reading Hill's book first.
