Wonderfully written and incredibly grim. ( ![]() Not a very exciting story. Too long threaded and way too complicated story to enjoy it... Too bad, hoped for spy thriller. Pure LeCarre pleasure! Intricate plot, excellent historical background and so inexorably exciting to the very end! A brilliant spy novel. It dips into the psyche of the protagonist from time to time, and one can never be sure about whom to trust which is an inherent feature of the world of spies. Above all, the reader realizes how helpless even the best of spies can feel which contrasts very well with the resourcefulness they have to display all the time. Morality is always on the line and one starts to wonder how much of it to give up when chasing the 'greater good'. The writing is great. The twists and turns come after the right amount of build-up and even if sometimes things get a tad slow when reaching them, the pay-offs are always huge! It is especially interesting, of course, for those who like mystery and suspense in general. It also presented something refreshingly different from detective fiction (like Sherlock and Agatha Christie) which I usually drown myself in. A must read! Simply the best spy fiction I have ever read.
En este clásico, el autor recrea un mundo jamás conocido antes en la novela de suspense. Con los conocimientos acumulados durante sus años en el servicio de inteligencia británica, le Carré saca a la luz los interiores un tanto turbios del espionaje internacional de la mano de Alec Leamas, un agente británico durante los primeros años de la guerra fría en Berlín. Leamas es responsable de mantener a sus agentes dobles protegidos y con vida, pero los alemanes del Este empiezan a matarlos, por lo que su superior, Control, le pide que vuelva a Londres no para echarle del cuerpo sino para encargarle una misión un tanto complicada. Con esta novela clásica de suspense, le Carré cambió las reglas del juego. Esta es la historia de un último encargo que recae sobre un agente que desea desesperadamente retirarse de su carrera de espionaje. The best spy story I have ever read," says Graham Greene, and I am not too far from agreeing with him. Whether "The Spy Who Came in From the Cold" is better than Eric Ambler's "Epitaph for a Spy" or Somerset Maugham's "Ashenden" or Mr. Greene's own "The Confidential Agent" is inconsequential. What matters is that it belongs on the same shelf. Here is a book a light year removed from the sometimes entertaining trivia which have (in the guise of spy novels) cluttered the publishers' lists for the past year.
