Beginning of The Third Man

I introduce about beginning of “The Third Man”. In the first, it is begin to the narration of voice. The narration talks about reality of Vienna. People had run anything, if they wanted it enough, and had the money to pay. A situation like that does tempt amateurs. But, they can’t stay the course like a professional. In the age, similar signs are erected at the entrance to the 3 countries zone. It is the British, Russian and French. Also the city divided into four zones, each occupied by a power. It is the American, the British, the Russian and the French. But the center of the city is polite by an international patrol. An American and Russian officer salutes as they face each other. Also they are protecting their respective zones. It is great spectacle, but they can’t speak the same language, expect a sort of a smattering of German. A mix of M.P.s from the four forces drives off on inspection. On the whole, they did their best, you know. Vienna also doesn’t really look any worse than a lot of other European cities. But buildings lay in ruins from bomb raids during the war.
It begins to the way here to visit a friend of his. The name was Harry Lime. In fact, Lime had offered him some sort. Martins is really poor chap and happy as a lark.
In the station, a train pulls into the station and Holly Martins gets off the train.
Martins arrived at Lime’s flat and he saw a porter sings in German in the banisters of the floor. In there, martins heard that Lime had knocked over by a car by a porter. A porter said, “He already in hell…or in heaven. Sorry for the grave diggers. He had hard work in this frost”. He went to a ceremony and met a man, Calloway. Martins talked about lime with him. For example, martins met Lime once in a while; he is best friend of Lime and others. But suddenly, Calloway said, “he was about the worst racketeer that ever made a dirty living in this city”. Martins got angry when heard it. And he did not want to believe it, he said, “some petty racket with petrol or something?” And he doubt that Calloway is policeman. They likely to fight, so Calloway also said, “Martins is only a scribbler” Certainly, Martins is too drunk. Also he is angry and said, “You’re not going to close your file at a dead man’s expense. When I finished with you, you’ll leave Vienna, you’ll look so silly”. So, Calloway left there.
Martins will ready a room to rest for tonight and he will be off tomorrow. A porter, Hartman said, “I can’t very well introduce you to everybody”. On the other hand, a man, Paine told a sergeant, Crabbin that Martins is great author. When Crabbin heard Paine’s information, he said to Martins, “I am Cultural Re-education Section of G.H.Q. It is propaganda. It is important in the place.” He also said we did a little show the week before. And this is the first opportunity we’ve had of making an American author welcome. Crabbin suggested that he want Martins to lecture on the contemporary novel. And he also suggested that Martins will stay here for as long as you care to stay.
At the time, Crabbin saw Martins hold the handkerchief to his mouth. Crabbin worried about him and said “Goodness, we must report that to the police”. But, Martins said, “No thank you, because I was trying to punch major in the eye”. Crabbin surprised to hear of course.
Martins met a man, Kurtz. He is one of Lime’s friends. Martins was angry, because police have a crazy notion that Lime was mixed up in some sort of a racket. Kurtz also said, “Everyone in Vienna is. I tell you, I have done things that would have seemed unthinkable before the war. When I was hard up, I sold some tires on the black market”. And Martins promise to Kurtz. It is that Kurtz gives some advice to Martins.
They went to accident place. Martins heard progress of the accident by Kurtz. But Martins noticed that testimonies are different. He wondered people’s testimony. Also he heard that there was a parson concerned at the funeral. It is girl of the Josefstadt Theater.
Also Martins likely to search for detail, but Kurtz said, “What’s the good of another postmortem? Suppose you dig up something, discreditable to Harry?” Its’ utterance is so strange.
Martins went to theater to meet a girl, Anna. He asked about Lime, but Anna doesn’t want to talk about it. He more and more thought it is strange. He decided to he will search for Lime’s real truth.
