life. Henry Graham Greene was born at Berkhamstead, Hertfordshire, on Oct. 2, 1904. He was educated at Berkhamsted School, where his father was headmaster, and at Balliol College, Oxford. He disliked school, which he described as his first impression of hell, contrasting the communal academic life with the privacy of his home. When he tried to run away from school, he was sent to London for psychoanalysis, an experience he enjoyed, but afterward he suffered prolonged bouts of boredom. At the age of 17 he occasionally relieved the boredom by playing Russian roulette with a revolver.
