'Collected Essays' contains nearly eighty essays, reviews and occasional pieces composed between novels, plays and travel books over four prolific decades. From Henry James and Somerset Maugham to Ho Chi Minh and Kim Philby, the range of subjects is eclectic and stimulating, and the characters - writers, priests, explorers - are brought vividly to life. 'Collected Essays' is as revealing as autobiography and as characteristically rich in humour, insight and doubt.
