The Man Within (1929) is the first novel by author Graham Greene. It tells the story of Francis Andrews, a reluctant smuggler, who betrays his colleagues, and the aftermath of his betrayal. It is Greene's first published novel. (Two earlier attempts at writing novels were never published, but a book of poetry, Babbling April, was published in 1925, while Greene was a student at Balliol College, Oxford). The title is taken from a sentence in Thomas Browne's Religio Medici: 'There's another man within me that's angry with me.' Greene, in his preface to the Penguin paperback edition of the book, derides the book as hopelessly romantic. Source: Wikipedia (en)
