The Pigeon Tunnel: Stories from My Life: The Penguin John le Carré Hardback Collection
Autor John le Carréen Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 aug 2022
'As recognizable a writer as Dickens or Austen'Financial Times
From his years serving in British Intelligence during the Cold War to a career as a writer, John le Carré has lived a unique life.
In this, his first memoir, le Carré is as funny as he is incisive - reading into the events he witnesses the same moral ambiguity with which he imbues his novels. Whether he's interviewing a German terrorist in her desert prison or watching Alec Guinness preparing for his role as George Smiley, this book invites us to think anew about events and people we believed we understood.
Best of all, le Carré gives us a glimpse of a writer's journey over more than six decades, and his own hunt for the human spark that has given so much life and heart to his fictional characters.
'No other writer has charted - pitilessly for politicians but thrillingly for readers - the public and secret histories of his times'Guardian
'When I was under house arrest I was helped by the books of John le Carré . . . These were the journeys that made me feel that I was not really cut off from the rest of humankind'Aung San Suu Kyi
