Özet

THE SIXTH GEORGE SMILEY NOVEL

George Smiley, now acting head of the Circus, must rebuild its shattered reputation after one of the biggest betrayals in its history. Using the talents of journalist and occasional spy Jerry Westerby, Smiley launches a risky operation uncovering a Russian money-laundering scheme in the Far East. His aim: revenge on Karla, head of Moscow Centre and the architect of all his troubles.

In the second part of John le Carré's Karla Trilogy, the battle of wits between Smiley and his Soviet adversary takes on an even more dangerous dimension.

'Energy, compassion, rich and overwhelming sweep of character and action' The Times

'A remarkable sequel ... the achievement is in the characters, major and minor ... all burned on the brain of the reader' The New York Times

Somewhat new to John Le Carre. Only read Tinker Tailor and The Perfect Spy. This was great and the narration even better. I’ve pre-ordered Smileys People narrated by the same artist.

Wonderful book and even better narration

You need to have patience with these books, as LeCarre spins his web slowly and methodically. There have been times I just stopped as I couldn’t take it anymore. Good thing I was never a spy.

I forget how protracted Le Carre can be…

Having had the great pleasure of listening to Michael Jayston narrating the Spy Who Came in From the Cold, Beale as a narrator feels like the mother of all downgrades. The story is complex and well written as you would expect from Le Carre and it is clearly extensively researched and with colourful and interesting characters. Personally I feel the narration is such a let down. I find Beales voice incredibly annoying particularly when reading female characters. His North American accents are grating. I feel he makes a complex plot even harder to follow because at times you just can't bare to hear him narrate any longer. Beale is a fantastic actor, he's just not a very good choice of narrator.

A complex and well researched story that's let down by the narration.

Brilliantly written story with so many interesting characters and evocative description of old Hong Kong. The sentiments may be dated but excellent story telling does not age

Fantastic to revisit
