Sobre este artículo
London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1971. First edition of le Carre's classic sixth novel. Octavo, original cloth. Signed by John le Carre on the title page. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Jacket design by Tony Geddes. Loosely based on Le Carre's relationship with James and Susan Kennaway following the breakdown of his first marriage, The Naive and Sentimental Lover follows the story of Aldo Cassidy, a young entrepreneur who meets an aging writer and his beautiful wife with whom he develops a passionate relationship. Upon its release, the novel received mixed reviews, and prompted Le Carre's return to the spy genre and his most famous character George Smiley with the acclaimed Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and subsequent sequels in The Quest for Karla trilogy.
