Step into the sharp, satirical world of Graham Greene with this first edition, first printing of Dr. Fischer of Geneva or The Bomb Party, published in 1980 by Simon and Shuster (New York) and The Bodley Head (London). Greene, known for his penetrating explorations of human nature, delivers a biting novella that examines greed, cruelty, and the moral decay of the ultra-rich.

This literary gem follows a mysterious millionaire who hosts bizarre “parties” for his circle of sycophantic friends—part celebration, part psychological experiment. Both chilling and thought-provoking, it’s a Greene classic that balances entertainment with ethical inquiry.

A compelling collectible for fans of Greene, literary fiction, or modern satirical literature.
