Fleeing his former fellow associates, whom he fears plan fatal consequences for his infidelity, Andrews finds shelter in a remote cottage, home to a solitary young woman named Elizabeth. Forthrightly, almost impulsively, Elizabeth persuades Andrews to redeem his treachery by honesty—to bear open witness in a court of law against his one-time accomplices, and thus prove himself, if not the better, at least the braver man. Yet neither Andrews nor Elizabeth reckon that there are worse dangers than those threatened by the law, mortal dangers at the hands of men who will scorn both justice and mercy in their own quest for survival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e“\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eThere’s another man within me that’s angry with me.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e”\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e(Sir Thomas Brown)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBegun by Greene at the age of twenty-one and first published in 1929, \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Man Within \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003erepresents, in its author’s own telling, a gesture towards the past: “the period of ambition and hope.” Yet it is significant also as a forerunner of the future and preview of his later works, which dramatized so powerfully, even pitilessly at times, the wrestling of man with God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eGraham Greene\u003c\/span\u003e (1904–1991) was an English writer and novelist.
