Brighton Rock

Graham Greene`s Brighton Rock is the classic murder tale set in 1930s Brighton and which was made into a successful feature film in 1948. A gang war is raging through the dark underworld of Brighton. Seventeen-year-old Pinkie, malign and ruthless, has killed a man. Believing he can escape retribution, he is unprepared for the courageous, life-embracing Ida Arnold. Greene`s gripping thriller, exposes a world of loneliness and fear, of life lived on the `dangerous edge of things`.Although ostensibly an underworld thriller, the book is also an exploration of the nature of sin and the basis of morality; Pinkie and Rose are Roman Catholics, as was Greene, and their beliefs are contrasted with Ida`s strong but non-religious moral sensibility.
