The Ipcress File de Len Deighton

The Ipcress File: The Ipcress File, cartea 1

Autor Len Deighton
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 iun 2023

A high-ranking scientist has been kidnapped, and a secret British intelligence agency has just recruited Deighton’s iconic unnamed protagonist—later christened Harry Palmer—to find out why. His search begins in a grimy Soho club and brings him to the other side of the world. When he ends up amongst the Soviets in Beirut, what seemed a straightforward mission turns into something far more sinister.

With its sardonic, cool, working-class hero, Len Deighton’s sensational debut and first bestseller The IPCRESS File broke the mold of thriller writing and became the defining novel of 1960s London.

Notă biografică

LEN DEIGHTON (1929–2026) was one of Britain’s preeminent thriller writers, considered a defining voice of the genre alongside John Le Carré and Graham Greene. Known for his wit and his scrupulous research, Deighton wrote more than thirty books ranging from espionage, historical, and dystopian alternative fiction to brilliant nonfiction on the Second World War. Never out of print, with over 30 million copies sold and multiple adaptations for film and TV, his books have left an enduring mark on global culture, influencing everything from Motörhead to Quentin Tarantino.

Recenzii

They don't, as they say, write them like this anymore. You will be entertained, informed, thrilled and dazzled. Long may he, and his creations, live on.
Len Deighton's spy novels are so good they make me sad the Cold War is over.
Deighton's fiction has stood the test of time. His habitually acerbic narrative voice still has much to say to contemporary readers ... Now a fresh generation have the chance to sample Deighton's wares as Penguin republishes many of his books.
The Ipcress File helped change the shape of the espionage thriller ... the prose is still as crisp and fresh as ever ... there is an infectious energy about this book which makes it a joy to read, or re-read.
The self-conscious cool of Deighton's writing has dated in the best way possible ... stone-cold Cold War classic.
To read it today is like taking a ride in a time machine, so accurate and astute are its evocations of its era ... Deighton knows how to pinch the ephemera that stick in our souls ... Never not a joy to read. It is also a book that changed the way we see the world.
The IPCRESS File has lost none of its nerve-tingling fascination ... [and] the pleasure of engaging with a master of his craft.
A wonderful mixture of the exciting and the amusingly humdrum ... James Bond may be thinner, but so is his dialogue.
Deighton is a fearless observer of the deceptive human world.
A dazzling performance. The verve and energy, the rattle of wit in the dialogue, the side-of-the-mouth comments, the evident pleasure taken in cocking a snook at the British spy story's upper-middle-class tradition - all these made it clear that a writer of remarkable talent in this field had appeared.
