A Legacy of Spies
Autor John le Carré Tom Hollanderen Limba Engleză CD-Audio – 20 sep 2017
Peter Guillam, staunch colleague and disciple of George Smiley of the British Secret Service, otherwise known as the Circus, has retired to his family farmstead on the south coast of Brittany when a letter from his old Service summons him to London. The reason? His Cold War past has come back to claim him. Intelligence operations that were once the toast of secret London are to be scrutinised by a generation with no memory of the Cold War. Somebody must be made to pay for innocent blood once spilt in the name of the greater good.
Interweaving past with present so that each may tell its own story, John le Carré has given us a novel of superb and enduring quality.

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
trilogyTinker
Tailor
Soldier
Spy,The
Honourable
SchoolboyandSmiley's
People.
At
the
end
of
the
Cold
War,
le
Carré
widened
his
scope
to

an
international
landscape
including
the
arms
trade
and
the
War
on
Terror.
His
memoir,The
Pigeon
Tunnel,
was
published

novel,A
Legacy
of
Spies,
appeared
in

December
2020.
Recenzii
He
can
communicate
emotion,
from
sweating
fear
to
despairing
love,
with
terse
and
compassionate
conviction.
Above
all,
he
can
tell
a
tale.
Formidable
equipment
for
a
rare
and
disturbing
writer
I have re-readThe Spy Who Came In From The Coldover and over again since I first encountered it in my teens, just to remind myself how extraordinary a work of fiction can be
He's one of those writers who will be read a century from now
The best spy story I have ever read
Perhaps the most significant novelist of the second half of the 20th century in Britain. He will have charted our decline and recorded the nature of our bureaucracies like no one else has. He's in the first rank
A literary master for a generation
