"Or just about any book by Graham Greene. As a journalist who has now written a book myself, I’m in awe of how Greene weaves his narrative into the social and political context of his Haitian setting. The Comedians drips with atmosphere as well as suspense."

2010 | Drama, Mystery, Thriller
A very good, solid well made film with an intriguing story. Mainly classed as a thriller but it has plenty of action and even a few bloody scenes. Gets a bit political but you will be engrossed until the outcome. A perfect role for Mel Gibson.

Extremely relevant for today
George Orwell is a master of deciphering complicated political structures, as seen through the Spanish Civil War. But what is more extraordinary is his prophetic ability, for only months later Britain was at the mercy of German bombs as he correctly predicted.

His first-hand account of fighting in the war makes him unique in his ability to be able to write about it unlike many of the other biased publications at the time. It is an extremely political book so it may not suit someone who wants to read about the emotional upheaval being on the frontline.

He truly is a genius ahead of his time.
