"The Quiet American" by Graham Greene
格雷厄姆.格林《文静的美国人》
Partly a mystery, partly a social commentary. Greene's book belongs on mystery, history, and social commentary reading lists. Ostensibly, it's about a love triangle between an American, an Englishman, and an Asian woman. Behind the human tragedy is the tragedy of the French Indochina war, which served as a precursor to the Vietnam War.
有谜团,也有社会评论。格林的书属于推理小说、历史、社会评论的阅读列表。表面上,它是关于一个美国男人、一个英国男人以及一个亚裔女子的三角恋故事。在人类悲剧的背后是法越战争的悲剧,它是越南战争的前兆。

Max is a very relatable child who wants to dominate his environment, especially his mother. In a fantasy land of fearsome beasts, he is allowed to tame and conquer the way he would never be allowed to do at home, eventually becoming their honored king after a battle of wills.
