Resumen |
Desde su inicio como escritor, Le Carre se ha caracterizado por mantener el suspenso en la trama y a la vez hacer que el lector se intrigue por cada uno de los caracteres de sus novelas. Ademas, el descenlace de sus novelas es excepcional, y El Sastre de Panama no es la excepcion.
Esta novela se basa en hechos historicos de un pais atropellado por la oligarquia, politicas foraneas y los militares. Le Carre se vale de estas realidades para que su caracter principal parezca que tiene mucha influencia en el medio, la sociedad y las influencias extranjeras, como los USA.
El Sastre de Panama es una novela muy bien escrita, en una nueva linea de espionaje post-guerra fria, donde los intereses y politica de las potencias son totalmente diferentes. Es un excelente libro.
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/ |
