'The only book I have ever written just for the fun of it' Graham Greene Greene proves a wonderful storyteller in this hilarious tale of the eccentricity of families and the pomposity of the middle class. Henry Pulling, a retired bank manager, meets his septuagenarian Aunt Augusta for the first time in over fifty years at what he supposes to be his mother's funeral. Soon after, she persuades Henry to abandon Southwood, his dahlias and the Major next door to travel her way, Brighton, Paris, Istanbul, Paraguay. Through Aunt Augusta, a veteran of Europe's hotel bedrooms, Henry joins a shiftless, twilight society: mixing with hippies, war criminals, CIA men; smoking pot, breaking all the currency regulations and eventually coming alive after a dull suburban life. In Travels With My Aunt Graham Greene not only gives us intoxicating entertainment but also confronts us with some of the most perplexing of human dilemmas.

Je rencontrai ma tante Augusta pour la première fois en plus d'un demi-siècle aux obsèques de ma mère. Ma mère avait près de quatre-vingt-six ans à sa mort ; ma tante était sa cadette de quelque onze ou douze ans. Deux ans plus tôt j'avais quitté la banque avec une retraite suffisante et une agréable " enveloppe ". La Westminster nous avait absorbés et ma succursale faisait double emploi. De l'avis général, j'avais de la chance. Pour ma part, je trouvais le temps long. Je n'ai jamais pris femme ; j'ai toujours mené une existence paisible ; sauf un penchant pour les dahlias, je n'ai pas de violon d'Ingres. Autant de raisons qui ajoutaient aux obsèques de ma mère un brin de piquant nullement déplaisant. L'Orient-Express, Paris, Venise, Milan, Istanbul... Lorsque tante Augusta fait irruption, tel un tourbillon, dans la vie d'Henry, celui-ci se laisse entraîner dans une folle poursuite à travers le monde. Un roman éblouissant, bijou d'humour et de cocasserie, de la première à la dernière page.
