Lädt ... The Quest for Karla (Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy / The Honourable Schoolboy / Smiley's People) (1979)von John le Carré
   Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  TChesney | Aug 25, 2013 |    ) soniaandree | Apr 2, 2012 | I really wanted to like this book. I found it very difficult to read. Everyone had three names that were all similar, and then there was all the British spy slang. I also thought the story was very slow, disjointed and kind of dull. The main character George Smiley ended up very depressed when all the action was done with and everything had been solved. I did relate to that, since that is how I feel at the end of a big long-term project. Only thing is, there was no action to be exhausted from and no adreneline-high to recover from in this book! If I read it again, I think I may like the book more. But, I just don't want to do that. I have the old BBC version of this at home waiting to be watched. I am wondering if I will appreciate it more, since I will be able to distiguish the characters more easily and maybe feel more of the tension. I will have to do that soon.

HTML:TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY The first novel in John le Carré's celebrated and New York Times bestselling Karla trilogy featuring George Smiley, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is a heart-stopping tale of international intrigue. The man he knew as "Control" is dead, and the young Turks who forced him out now run the Circus. But George Smiley isn't quite ready for retirement-especially when a pretty, would-be defector surfaces with a shocking accusation: a Soviet mole has penetrated the highest level of British Intelligence. Relying only on his wits and a small, loyal cadre, Smiley recognizes the hand of Karla??his Moscow Centre nemesis??and sets a trap to catch the traitor. THE HONOURABLE SCHOOLBOY As the fall of Saigon looms, master spy George Smiley must outmaneuver his Soviet counterpart on a battlefield that neither can afford to lose. The mole has been eliminated, but the damage wrought has brought the British Secret Service to its knees. Given the charge of the gravely compromised Circus, George Smiley embarks on a campaign to uncover what Moscow Centre most wants to hide. When the trail goes cold at a Hong Kong gold seam, Smiley dispatches Gerald Westerby to shake the money tree. A part-time operative with cover as a philandering journalist, Westerby insinuates himself into a war-torn world where allegiances??and lives??are bought and sold. Brilliantly plotted and morally complex, The Honourable Schoolboy is the second installment of John le Carré??s renowned and New York Times bestselling Karla Trilogy, the follow-up to Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. SMILEY'S PEOPLE Tell Max that it concerns the Sandman? A very junior agent answers Vladimir??s call, but it could have been the Chief of the Circus himself. No one at the British Secret Service considers the old spy to be anything except a senile has-been who can??t give up the game??until he??s shot in the face at point-blank range. Although George Smiley (code name: Max) is officially retired, he??s summoned to identify the body now bearing Moscow Centre??s bloody imprimatur. As he works to unearth his friend??s fatal secrets, Smiley heads inexorably toward one final reckoning with Karla??his dark ??grail.? In Smiley??s People, master storyteller and New York Times bestselling author of The Spy Who Came in from the Cold and Our Kind of Traitor John le Carré brings his acclaimed Karla Trilogy, to its unforgettable, spellbinding conclusion.

** "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" (read from April 28 to 30, 2013) - Good ending, but got 'lost' too often.
* "The Honourable Schoolboy" (read from May 7 to 13, 2013) - Repetitive; boring; very, very very slow; too long.
