ONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S 2022 SUMMER PICKS

'Le Carré at his finest' Mick Herron, Guardian

Julian Lawndsley has renounced his high-flying job in the City for a simpler life running a bookshop in a small English seaside town. But after only a couple of months into his new career, Edward, a Polish émigré, shows up at his door with a very keen interest in Julian's new enterprise and a lot of knowledge about his family history. And when a letter turns up at the door of a spy chief in London warning him of a dangerous leak, the investigations lead him to this quiet town by the sea . . .

Silverview is the mesmerising story of an encounter between innocence and experience and between public duty and private morals. In this last complete masterwork from the greatest chronicler of our age, John le Carré asks what you owe to your country when you no longer recognise it.

'The finest, wisest storyteller' Richard Osman

'A towering writer' Margaret Atwood

Notă biografică

John le Carré was born in 1931. For six decades, he wrote novels that came to define our age. The son of a confidence trickster, he spent his childhood between boarding school and the London underworld. At sixteen he found refuge at the university of Bern, then later at Oxford. A spell of teaching at Eton led him to a short career in British Intelligence (MI5&6). He published his debut novel,Call for the Dead, in 1961 while still a secret servant. His third novel,The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, secured him a worldwide reputation, which was consolidated by the acclaim for his trilogyTinker Tailor Soldier Spy,The Honourable SchoolboyandSmiley'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. His memoir,The Pigeon Tunnel, was published in 2016 and the last George Smiley novel,A Legacy of Spies, appeared in 2017. He died on 12 December 2020.
