Das Ende einer Affäre
About this book
"This is a record of hate far more than of love," writes Maurice Bendrix in the opening passages of The End of the Affair, of which he is the narrator. And it is a strange hate indeed that compels him to set down the retrospective account of his adulterous love affair with Sarah Miles - a hate bred of a passion that ultimately lost out to God. Now, a year after Sarah's death, Bendrix seeks to exorcise the persistence of that passion by retrac-ing its obsessive and tortuous course. By the time he has finished, his hatred for both Sarah and her husband, Henry Miles, has shifted to the God who he feels has broken his life - but whose existence he at last bitterly acknowledges. First published in 1951, admired and acclaimed then and since, The End of the Affair is a stunning and endlessly fascinating novel, an unforgettable Graham Greene classic.
