| Resumen |
John Le Carré \John le Carré made his literary debut in America on Walker & Company’s first lists, in 1962 and 1963, introducing his famous character, George Smiley. Now, as part of our 45th anniversary, we are proud and excited to re-issue these two early masterpieces in new hardcover editions, with introductions by the author and forewords by P. D. James and Otto Penzler. \John le Carré has been called “simply the world’s greatest fictional spymaster” (Newsweek) and “one of the half-dozen best novelists now working in English” (Chicago Sun-Times). “No other contemporary novelist has more durably enjoyed the twin badges of being both well-read and wellregarded,” wrote Scott Turow. He has created many memorable characters, but none with more worldwide acclaim than George Smiley, the bland, paunchy, yet deadly British Secret Service agent. Harry Pendel is the charismatic proprietor of Pendel and Braithwaite Limitada of Panama, through whose doors everyone who is anyone in Central America passes; Andrew Osnard, mysterious and fleshy, is a spy. His secret mission is two-pronged: to keep a watchful eye on the political manoeuvrings leading up to the American handover of the Panama Canal on 31st December 1999; and to secure for himself the immense private fortune that has until now churlishly eluded him.\Le Carré shows what an extraordinarily witty writer he can be, with a true feeling for the farcical http://www.johnlecarre.com/ http://www.johnlecarre.com/ |
