Autor John Le Carré
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 iul 2023
'The new crime and espionage series from Penguin Classics makes for a mouth-watering prospect' Daily Telegraph

An apparent suicide. A deepening mystery. A letter from a dead man...
Secret agent George Smiley is in trouble. A Foreign Office civil servant, Samuel Fennan, has killed himself, and Smiley realizes that Intelligence head Maston is going to set him up to take the blame. Beginning his own investigation, Smiley is shocked to receive an urgent letter from the dead man, and slowly uncovers a network of deceit and betrayal. Le Carré's debut novel was also the first of his many books to feature the tenacious, unassuming and singular George Smiley.

Notă biografică

John le Carré was born in 1931. After studying at the university of Bern and Oxford and teaching at Eton, he began a short career in British Intelligence (MI5&6). He published his debut novel, Call for the Dead, in 1961 while still a civil servant, and acclaim swiftly followed, consolidated by The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, and his trilogy Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Honourable Schoolboy and Smiley's People. At the end of the Cold War, le Carré widened his scope to explore an international landscape including the arms trade and the War on Terror. He died on 12 December 2020.

Recenzii

Intelligent, thrilling, surprising ... makes most cloak-and-dagger stuff taste of cardboard.
Brilliant. Realistic. Constant suspense.
The greatest spy novelist of all time ... astounding works of the imagination.
Brilliant, popular, intelligent, thrilling, suspenseful, angry, original, masterful writing. Can't be topped.
An extraordinary writer who brought literary lustre and lived insight to the spy yarn.
One of those writers who will be read a century from now.
His Smiley novels are key to understanding the mid-20th century.
What Joseph Conrad started, John le Carré enshrined and made modern. That is the real achievement of his great novels and why they will endure ... we should see him as our contemporary Dickens.
