Our Man in Havana (Penguin Classics)

MI6â‚¬s man in Havana is Wormold, a former vacuum-cleaner salesman turned reluctant secret agent out of economic necessity.

Then his stories start coming disturbingly trueâ‚¬Â¦

First published in 1959 against the backdrop of the Cold War, Our Man in Havana remains one of Graham Greeneâ‚¬s most widely read novels.
