Konu: Alden Pyle, çevresindekilerin saf, utangaç ve ‘sessiz’ bir adam olarak tanıdığı genç bir Amerikalıdır. Fransız Ordusu ile Vietminhler kıran kırana savaşırken Pyle, ‘Üçüncü Güç’ün bölgeye demokrasiyi getireceğine dair ütopik bir inançla General Thé’ye mali yardım sağlamaktadır. Deneyimli gazeteci Thomas Fowler, karısını İngiltere’de bırakıp Saygon’a yerleşmiş, burada Vietnamlı bir kıza âşık olmuştur. Pyle’ın izlediği politikaların sonucunda yapılan korkunç bir hata toplu katliama yol açınca Fowler, tarafsızlığını daha fazla koruyamayacağına karar verir. Ancak Fowler’ın olaya karışma nedenleri hem polis teşkilatında hem de kendi iç dünyasında şüpheler uyandırır. Ne de olsa Pyle, Fowler’ın âşık olduğu kadını da elinden almıştır. (Tanıtım Bülteninden)

Plot: 1955 novel by English author Graham Greene which depicts French colonialism in Vietnam being uprooted by the Americans during the 1950s. The novel implicitly questions the foundations of growing American involvement in Vietnam in the 1950s and is unique in its exploration of the subject topic through the links among its three main characters- Fowler, Pyle and Phuong.

Plot : British Thomas Fowler enjoys his life in Saigon working as a reporter for the London Times, covering the conflict in Vietnam between the colonial French powers and the communists, who seem to be winning the war. In the later stages of his career, he takes his job lightly now, filing stories only on occasion, and no longer doing field work. But most important, this posting allows him to escape from what he considers a dreary life in London--including an unsatisfying marriage to a Catholic woman, who will never grant him a divorce--which in turn allows him to have an affair with a young Vietnamese ex-taxi dancer named Phuong, whom he loves and would marry if he were able. Phuong's sister doesn't much like Fowler if only because Fowler cannot provide a stable future for her. His idyllic life is threatened when head office suggests he go back to London. In this way, he decides to write a major story to prove to his superiors that he should stay in Saigon.  Written by Huggo
