Alex Leamas is tired. It's the 1960s, he's been out in the cold for years, spying in Berlin for his British masters, and has seen too many good agents murdered for their troubles. Now Control wants to bring him in at last - but only after one final assignment. He must travel deep into the heart of Communist Germany and betray his country, a job that he will do with his usual cynical professionalism. But when George Smiley tries to help a young woman Leamas has befriended, Leamas' mission may prove to be the worst thing he could ever have done. In le Carre's breakthrough work of 1963, the spy story is reborn as a gritty and terrible tale of men who are caught up in politics beyond their imagining. This title is presented with a new introduction by William Boyd and an afterword by Le Carre himself.
John le Carre was educated at the University of Berne (where he studied German literature for a year) and at Lincoln College, Oxford, where he graduated with a first-class honours degree in modern languages. From 1959 to 1964 he was a member of the British Foreign Service, serving first as Second Secretary in the British Embassy in Bonn and subsequently as Political Consul in Hamburg. He started writing novels in 1961, and since then has published twenty-one titles.

bluff and counter-bluff
评分我被剧透了 啊不 书透 不是很喜欢那些说教的意味hmm 不详述了
评分Nicely plotted and well written! Very Sensitive and thrilling, sad enough to put your to tears at the unexpected ending... I started this book on the plane to Davos before Lunar New Year and came back to find the country plagued by Coronovirus. A book without heroism. Leamas died for love, for Liz.
评分有很多二战+苏俄历史背景。很有深度,恨自己没天赋
评分A must-read spy story
