In this astonishing work we see our world, both public and private, through the eyes of one of the world's greatest writers.
John le Carre was born in 1931. His third novel, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, secured him a worldwide reputation, which was consolidated by the acclaim for his trilogy Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Honourable Schoolboy and Smiley's People. His recent novels include A Most Wanted Man, Our Kind of Traitor and A Delicate Truth.
John le Carré is as recognizable a writer as Dickens or Austen

When I was under house arrest I was helped by the books of John le
Carré ... they were a journey into the wider world ... These were
the journeys that made me feel that I was not really cut off from
the rest of humankind
*Aung San Suu Kyi*
No other writer has charted - pitilessly for politicians but
thrillingly for readers - the public and secret histories of his
times
*Guardian*
