Acerca de este libro
The Spy Who Came in from the Cold is a novel by British
author John le Carré. Set during the political tensions of the Cold War, the revolutionary
espionage novel portrays the intelligence services of both Eastern and Western
nations as sacrificing morality in the name of national security. The Spy Who
Came in from the Cold received critical acclaim at the time of its publication
and became an international bestseller. Named “Best Crime Novel” by the Crime
Writers' Association in 1963 and “Best Mystery Novel” by the Mystery Writers of
America in 1965, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold was the first work to win
the award from both writing organizations. Additionally, it was named the “Best
spy novel of all-time” by Publisher’s Weekly and is listed as one of the
All-Time 100 Novels by Time magazine.
Resumen
John le Carré’s third novel—A #1 New York Times bestseller for 34 weeks—and the book that launched his career worldwide
In the shadow of the newly erected Berlin Wall, Alec Leamas watches as his last agent is shot dead by East German sentries. For Leamas, the head of Berlin Station, the Cold War is over. As he faces the prospect of retirement or worse—a desk job—Control offers him a unique opportunity for revenge. Assuming the guise of an embittered and dissolute ex-agent, Leamas is set up to trap Mundt, the deputy director of the East German Intelligence Service—with himself as the bait. In the background is George Smiley, ready to make the game play out just as Control wants.
Setting a standard that has never been surpassed, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold is a devastating tale of duplicity and espionage.
