| 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. Call for the Dead \John Le Carré \With the incomparable opening chapter of Call for the Dead, “A Brief History of George Smiley,” le Carré ensnares readers in the shadowy world Smiley easily inhabits. Pulled back from overseas duty after World War II, Smiley had cleared Samuel Fennan, in the Foreign Office, of allegations he had Communist Party connections, only to learn he died the next day, a suicide note claiming his career was ruined. Investigating what made no sense to him, Smiley is led into a lethal duel of wits with a former pupil.\“A subtle and acute story of counter-espionage marked by restraint, indirection, and intelligence.”\—NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW |
