A funny and thrilling audiobook which has everything - travel, cocktails, subterfuge, gunn...even checkers and vacuum cleaners! Join the reluctant Wormold, 'Our Man in Havana' as he is dragged into a world which he barely understands but knows he must try to control before it takes wrong and potentially dangerous turns!
In a legendary novel that appears to predict the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, Graham Greene introduces James Wormold, a vacuum cleaner salesman whose life in transformed when he is asked to join the British Secret Service. He agrees, and finds himself with no information to offer, so begins to invent sources and agencies which do not exist, but which appear very real to his superiors. Then follow some very real events, such as undercover work and even murder attempts, all backed up by phantom chains of information and invented covert agencies. An often light-hearted but massively important complete and unabridged audiobook, which makes many comments on present-day life despite being published over 50 years ago. The book was also made into a hit film starring Carol Reed and Alec Guinness in 1959, and has recently (2007) been the subject of a play adaptation staged in Guildford to a enthusiastic public reception.
