The Quiet American. First edition in English. The Quiet American was originally published by Norstedt in Sweden earlier the same year, translated directly from Greene's manuscript, as Den Stillsame Amerikanen.The 1958 Hollywood adaptation inverted the novel's themes, turning it into an anti-communist advocacy of American power, while the 2002 film version was true to the book's cautions against American interventionism.
