Indlæser... Det er en slagmark (1934)af Graham Greene
   My TBR (314) Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog.  bnielsen | Apr 7, 2015 | 
On a battlefield each small group of soldiers fights its little individual war, ignorant of the action and its meaning along miles of battlefront. Life, says Graham Greene, is like that. To prove it, he writes in a cinematographic style that shoots a keen, swift-moving camera eye from one point to another round the circle of his drama. In "Orient Express" he used the same method, flashing light on lives in widely differing spheres which were somehow connected in a common story. In "It's a Battlefield" he has developed this method still further.
Drover, a Communist bus driver, is in prison, sentenced to death for killing a policeman during a riot at Hyde Park Corner. A battle for a reprieve with many participants ensues: the Assistant Commissioner, high-principled and over-worked; Conrad, a paranoid clerk; Mr Surrogate, a rich Fabian; Condor, a pathetic journalist feeding on fantasies; pretty, promiscuous Kay - all have a part to play in his fate.

En buschauffør Drover stikker en mand ned, da han frygter at manden vil slå Drovers hustru. Desværre dør manden og han er politimand og Drover er kommunist, så Drover bliver dømt og får dødsstraf. Om han bør benådes til en fængselsstraf i stedet er en politisk varm kartoffel.
