The life of Alfred Knopf, publisher of, among others, Thomas Mann and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and according to Cooke "simply the best publisher of the twentieth century".

Nigel Andrews examines the many films which have been based on works by Graham Greene. Between Orient Express in 1933 and Dr Fischer of Geneva, which has its premiere next Monday, there have been almost 30 adaptations of Greene's novels, 'entertainments', short stories and original screenplays. Some, like The Fallen Idol and The Third Man, were classics, but others were failures disowned by the novelist.

Adaptors including Roy Boulting (Brighton Rock), Christopher Hampton (The Honorary Consul) and Peter Duffell (England Made Me), assess the cinema's fascination with 'Greeneland' and Quentin Falk, author of a new study of the cinema of Graham Greene, discusses the 20 or so films to be screened in a National Film Theatre September season.
