The Quiet AmericanGraham Greene's classic exploration of love, innocence, and morality in Vietnam "I never knew a man who had better motives for all the trouble he caused," Graham Greene's narrator Fowler remarks of Alden Pyle, the eponymous "Quiet American" of what is perhaps the most controversial novel of his career.

Graham Greene's classic exploration of love, innocence, and morality in Vietnam "I never knew a man who had better motives for all the trouble he caused," Graham Greene's narrator Fowler remarks of Alden Pyle, the eponymous "Quiet American" of what is perhaps the most controversial novel of his career. Pyle is the brash young idealist sent out by Washington on a mysterious mission to Saigon, where the French Army struggles against the Vietminh guerrillas. As young Pyle's well-intentioned policies blunder into bloodshed, Fowler, a seasoned and cynical British reporter, finds it impossible to stand safely aside as an observer. But Fowler's motives for intervening are suspect, both to the police and himself, for Pyle has stolen Fowler's beautiful Vietnamese mistress. Originally published in 1956 and twice adapted to film, The Quiet American remains a terrifiying and prescient portrait of innocence at large. This Graham Greene Centennial Edition includes a new introductory essay by Robert Stone.

Color and workmanship.
Gem Type: Topaz, Ring Size: 7
This ring is absolutely stunning! The color of the Pink Topaz is rich and the 14K Rope Twisted Band just makes the Topaz pop! I have been watching and wanting this ring for a couple of years or more. The only thing that could have made this purchase a little better for me is a Ring Box. It comes in a Pouch, that's inside a nice box. While very nice look, I'd rather have it come in a Ring Box. I highly recommend this Ring, it stands out bigtime and is very nice for the price! Now, I want a Bracelet to match it!

Gorgeous!
Gem Type: Topaz, Ring Size: 7, Gem Type: Topaz, Ring Size: 7
There's not a lot of pictures or reviews on this rings so I had to post one. When I got this ring it took my breath away. The pink is so spectacular with a rich and deep color that I had to order the bracelet to go with it. It is very simple but could be paired with thin diamond bands. I like it alone so it stands out. It makes me so happy to wear it.

Disappointment!!
Gem Type: Topaz, Ring Size: 8
I returned the ring! The first be time I tried it on, the metal bent. The stone was beautiful, but the ring part was cheap. Donβt waste your time or money.
