In this classic, John le Carré's third novel and the first to earn him international acclaim, he created a world unlike any previously experienced in suspense fiction. With unsurpassed knowledge culled from his years in British Intelligence, le Carré brings to light the shadowy dealings of international espionage in the tale of a British agent who longs to end his career but undertakes one final, bone-chilling assignment.
When the last agent under his command is killed and Alec Leamas is called back to London, he hopes to come in from the cold for good. His spymaster, Control, however, has other plans. Determined to bring down the head of East German Intelligence and topple his organization, Control once more sends Leamas into the fray -- this time to play the part of the dishonored spy and lure the enemy to his ultimate defeat.
John le Carré, the pseudonym of David John Moore Cornwell (born 19 October 1931 in Poole, Dorset, England), is an English author of espionage novels. Le Carré has resided in St Buryan, Cornwall, Great Britain, for more than 40 years, where he owns a mile of cliff close to Land's End.
因为沾了工作的光,我时不时有机会接触一些台湾的书籍,尤其是台湾的翻译小说。慢慢接触下来,让我大为惊讶而且一直没有想通的是,台湾那么点大的地方,大陆那么大的地方,在翻译小说出版的数量和眼光上,大陆竟然在很多方面都落后于台湾。就拿勒卡雷来说,台湾的木马出版社...
评分这本书去年夏天看过,非常喜欢,最近看原文的时候,偶然会想起和译文不一样的地方,随手记了一下,自己英文水平极低,对故事的理解能力更低,贴出来不供参考。 1.第118页 原文: There was a girl standing on the beach throwing bread to the sea gulls. Her back was turn...
评分今年是柏林墙倒掉的20周年,柏林早就启动了欢庆仪式 近些年,统一之后的各种负面影响和论战早成为媒体不避讳的话题 经济不景气,许多人怀念DDR的大包大揽,很多人埋怨东德拖垮了BRD 即使每天经过查理检查站,他们或许不愿再提起那些为自由而死去的人们 曾经,这座城市一夜之间...
评分出版勒卡雷小说最齐全的是台湾的木马文化,应该有十七八本吧。之前本来想花点时间逐一收藏,不过后来嫌远嫌贵嫌麻烦作罢。这本书木马取名为“冷战谍魂”,还出版了一个纪念精装版庆贺本书得到金匕首50年以来第一座奖中之奖。有了以上的心理期待,看到简体版封面老实说是有点失...
评分想来,喜欢勒卡雷的和不爱的当属两级,会觉得他枯燥的和会为之动容的都有其道理。但静下心来,毕竟是会觉得他文字的好,感动一丝丝的聚积,在那微波荡漾的行文里。倒数第二章几乎是大爆发似得男女主人工的互诘,关于间谍这一档的锥心刺骨之寒。
用这本入门约翰勒卡勒会是不错的选择,节奏和故事都精彩。相比而言,大名鼎鼎的“史迈利三部曲”带入感太慢,尤其是TTSS写了一百页只记住了伦敦的雨,《荣誉学生》是被低估的大作,《史迈利的人马》平庸很多但是最有阅读愉快感。

评分40%弃。似乎不喜欢这类题材
评分好好睇,推荐@_@
评分a spy story that had it all: drab beginning, clueless middle (well, it counts one fifth of the novel), siezing upturning till the end, morals (religion, its comtemporary spat with Communism, love and life). better than i expected. But the one thing I couldn't get out of my head comes not from the book, but from the worker from <work>, oh, you know.
