The Lawless Roads
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Paperback. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner inscription.
A masterwork of travel writing and political observation, The Lawless Roads chronicles Graham Greene's journey through the volatile landscapes of Mexico in 1938, where the government's brutal suppression of the Catholic Church had driven religion underground. With his trademark sharp wit and moral intensity, Greene presents a vivid portrait of a nation gripped by poverty, corruption, and spiritual conflict, weaving together personal anecdote, history, and journalism into a seamless narrative. The journey through Tabasco and Chiapas — among the most lawless regions of Mexico — illuminates the human cost of ideological warfare, as Greene details the suffering of ordinary people caught between state power and faith. This account directly inspired his celebrated novel The Power and the Glory, making it an indispensable companion to one of the twentieth century's greatest works of fiction.
