The Mission Song: Penguin Modern Classics

Autor John le Carré
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 sep 2018
'Mesmerising'Sunday Times

As an interpreter of African languages, Bruno Salvador is much in demand. He makes it a principle to remain neutral - no matter what he hears. But when he is summoned on a secret job for British Intelligence, he is told he will have to get his hands dirty. His mission is to help bring democracy to the Congo - democracy that will be delivered at the end of a gun barrel.

The Mission Songis an excoriating depiction of a corrupt world where loyalty can be bought and war is simply an opportunity to settle old scores.

'Simply astonishing ... a formidably sophisticated work of fiction' Charles Cumming

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 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.

Recenzii

Le Carre's eye is undimmed, his passion for his craft as strong as it ever was. He delivers a tale that few could equal and none will surpass
