Грэм Грин (1904-1991) - выдающийся английский прозаик, один из самых известных писателей современности. Его перу принадлежат почти три десятка романов, пьесы, сборники рассказов и стихотворений, заметки о путешествиях и сочинения для детей. Он занимался журналистикой, объехал в качестве репортера Индокитай, Мексику, Португалию и другие страны, был знаком со многими влиятельными политиками, служил в британской разведке, был почетным доктором Кембриджского и Оксфордского университетов • Роман "Ведомство страха" посвящен столкновению рядового человека с закулисным миром спецслужб, о которых автор знал не понаслышке. По форме это настоящий триллер со множеством загадок, шпионскими погонями и неожиданными поворотами сюжета. Война и политика, любовь и страх, воспоминания и потери - эта история будет одинаково интересна и любителям интеллектуального чтения, и тем, кто предпочитает остросюжетные жанры подробнее

В сборник сочинений Грэма Грина "Ведомство страха" включены романы, посвященные столкновению рядового человека с закулисным миром спецслужб • Двадцатый век по праву слывет столетием шпионажа, а значит, и "шпионского" романа, породившего, в частности, Человека, Который Был Четвергом, Джеймса Бонда, Шпиона, Пришедшего С Холода, и, разумеется, Максима Исаева aka Штирлица. Образы шпионов, созданные классиком жанра Грином, пожалуй, не столь колоритны - и это далеко не случайно, ведь личная неприметность - одно из обязательных условий их выживания. Но дело не только в этом: в романах, включенных в книгу, профессиональных разведчиков и контрразведчиков регулярно обыгрывают в их собственные шпионские игры заведомые и заядлые дилетанты; человек побеждает систему
