Description
Green's "Heart of Darkness" from 1961 plays out eternal themes of holiness, vocation, love, faith, and despair with a mastery for which he is rightly called the Dostoevsky of the twentieth century. In his autobiographical book "The End of the Affair" (Kalich 2006), Greene writes in connection with The End of the Affair: "The idea of faith as a calm sea was forever gone – faith was more like a storm, in which the happy were engulfed and lost, while those who were not lucky survived and were cast ashore with wounds and bleeding scars. A better person could find work for a lifetime on the edge of this cruel sea, but my own course of life offered me no self-confidence to offer any help. I had no apostolic mission, and the call for spiritual help drove me to madness from my own incapacity. What else was the church for but to help these suffering?… I was like a man without medical knowledge in a village struck by plague. I think Querry was born precisely in those years. He often sat in my chair and had more than one face."
