Neo-colonialism is a crucial topic often discussed in international politics, economy, and literary studies. World War II and the end of official/physical colonialism have led to new strategies practiced by the imperial powers in international relations to continue their former colonial legacy and expand further the area of their interest. They never left their legacies in the former colonies but strived to pursue their exploitive desires under various guises.

Neo-colonialism and literature may be closely associated because they reflect social, economic, and political characteristics simultaneously. This book defines and exemplifies neo-colonialism in literature through Graham Greene, who illustrates the workings of neo-colonialism in formerly colonized countries through his novels that blend reality with fiction.

The second book of Comparative Studies Series is aimed to write on various great literary figures. Studies in Contemporary Comparative Literature in the world are briefly introduced. Two great writers’ works, Charles Dickens’s Oliver Twist from English literature and Yaşar Kemal’s Sarı Sıcak from Turkish literature, are compared. Film adaptation of the book The Queen Victoria which tells about one of the greatest queens of England is studied with similarities and differences. Famous novels The White Castle by Orhan Pamuk and Chatterton by Peter Ackroyd are analysed in terms of historiographic metafictional aspects. It is great pleasure to contribute to the literary world with a new study.
