Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
Autor John Le Carréen Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 sep 2018
A mole, implanted by Moscow Centre, has infiltrated the highest ranks of the British Intelligence Service, almost destroying it in the process. And so former spymaster George Smiley has been brought out of retirement in order to hunt down the traitor at the very heart of the Circus - even though it may be one of those closest to him.
The first part of le Carré's acclaimed Karla Trilogy, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy sees the beginning of the stealthy Cold War cat-and-mouse game between the taciturn, dogged Smiley and his wily Soviet counterpart.
'A great thriller, the best le Carré has written' Spectator

Victor Tanasa a dat nota:
Outstanding. While I thoroughly enjoyed my fist le Carré, The Spy Who Came In from the Cold, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is on another level. The novel is tremendously immersive and feels very authentic. No doubt, the heavy use of jargon adds to that feeling; I was also quite surprised to find out that some terms, like "mole", were basically invented by the author and only after the book's publication did they entered mainstream circulation. It's usually the other way around! If you're looking for a gun-toting, gadget-laden, invisible-car-driver, James Bond type main character plus non stop action... look elsewhere. This is so much better.
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 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. 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.
