The Captain and the Enemy

by Graham Greene
₱589.05
The Captain and the Enemy
The Captain and the Enemy

Mysterious bonds, self-discovery, and ambiguous allegiances.

If you find the complexities of human relationships fascinating, "The Captain and the Enemy" could be a compelling read. Graham Greene weaves a narrative that's as much about coming of age as it is about deciphering the enigmatic ties that bind us. You may appreciate the slow unraveling of Jim's life and the subtle commentary on love and loyalty that could linger with you long after turning the last page.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Victor Baxter is a young boy when a secretive stranger known simply as “the Captain” brings him from his boarding school to London. Victor becomes the surrogate son and companion of a woman named Liza, who renames him “Jim” and depends on him for any news about the world outside their door. Raised in these odd yet touching circumstances, Jim is never quite sure of Liza’s relationship to the Captain, who is often away on mysterious errands. It is not until Jim reaches manhood that he confronts the Captain and learns the shocking truth about the man, his allegiances, and the nature of love.
