Doctor Fischer of Geneva
Author(s): Graham Greene
A satirical black comedy reissued from the legendary Graham Greene.
Doctor Fischer despises the human race. When the notorious toothpaste millionaire decides to hold the last of his famous parties -- his own deadly version of the Book of Revelations -- Greene opens up a powerful vision of the limitless greed of the rich.
Black comedy and painful satire combine in a totally compelling novel.
Dr Fischer of Geneva was made into a film starring James Mason, in his last ever role, as Dr Fischer.
