Sobre este artículo
A lovely first printing of the first American edition [Coward McCann New York (1965)], signed by author John Le Carre directly on the title page. The book has some light toning on the page edges, else fine condition with no remainder marks, a tight and square binding, with no owner inscriptions or highlighting or marking. The dust jacket is in near fine condition, not price-clipped ($4.95), with several chips, small closed tears and minimal shelf wear. It is now protected by an archival cover which is easily removable, with no tape or adhesive used. Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information. An exceptional example of the author's fourth book and scarce when signed.
Sinopsis
"You are either good or bad, and both are dangerous." It would have been an easy job for the Circus: a can of film couriered from Helsinki to London. In the past the Circus handled all things political, while the Department dealt with matters military. But the Department has been moribund since the War, its resources siphoned away. Now, one of their agents is dead, and vital evidence verifying the presence of Soviet missiles near the West German border is gone. John Avery is the Department's younger member and its last hope. Charged with handling Fred Leiser, a German-speaking Pole left over from the War, Avery must infiltrate the East and restore his masters' former glory. John le Carre's The Looking Glass War is a scorching portrayal of misplaced loyalties and innocence lost. With an introduction by the author.
