Zustand: Wie neu. First Imprint. 336 Seiten. Guter Zustand. Besitzerstempel auf dem Vorsatz. Those who have followed le Carré's remarkable progress as writer (from the lean and brilliantly-plotted The Spy Who Came in from the Cold onwards) will be aware that the end of the Cold War gave the author no pause at all; while other espionage writers were floundering around for a subject, le Carré was able to deal with the dangerous realities of the modern world in precisely the same compulsive way he had always done. If some of the recent novels have, nevertheless, not had quite the elegant and commanding power of his best work, it's refreshing to welcome this new book as one of his most assured in years. A corporate lawyer is brutally killed on a hillside in Turkey, and the reader is transported into a disparate but compelling series of events, taking us from a Devon seaside resort through the lethal world of the Russian Mafiosi to a tense climax in the High Caucasus. Of course, for le Carré character is every bit as important as plot: his protagonist, concealing his past security work by working as a children's magician, has failings as a father (which match the problems he had with his own father). In terms of the narrative, as so often before, the author has us at his command from the very first page.--Barry Forshaw. - John le Carré (* 19. Oktober 1931 in Poole, Dorset, Großbritannien; eigentlich David John Moore Cornwell) ist ein englischer Schriftsteller. Leben: John le Carrés Mutter Olive (Gassy) Cornwell verließ die Familie, als er fünf Jahre alt war. Sein Vater Richard Thomas Archibald (Ronnie) Cornwell (19061975), mehrfach wegen Betrugs und anderer hochstaplerischer Delikte verurteilt, übte zeitlebens großen Einfluss auf ihn aus; in seinem stark autobiografisch geprägten Roman A Perfect Spy (dt. Ein blendender Spion) verarbeitete er die Beziehung literarisch. Le Carré studierte Germanistik und Neue Sprachen an der Universität Bern und am Lincoln College Oxford, unterrichtete eine Weile am Eton College, arbeitete für das Außenministerium und war für den britischen Geheimdienst als Secret Service Agent tätig, bevor er Schriftsteller wurde. 1954 heiratete er Alison Ann Veronica Sharp, mit der er drei Söhne hat. Diese Ehe wurde 1971 geschieden. 1972 heiratete er die Lektorin Valérie Jane Eustace. Mit ihr hat er einen Sohn, der unter dem Namen Nick Harkaway publiziert. Thema seiner Romane war bis in die achtziger Jahre der Ost-West-Gegensatz und der Kalte Krieg. Sie zeichnen sich durch differenzierte psychologische Zeichnung der handelnden Figuren aus und sind akribisch recherchiert. Le Carré brach mit der herkömmlichen Schwarz-Weiß-Sichtweise. Der Westen greift im Kampf gegen den Kommunismus zu den Methoden des Ostens und verrät so die Ideale, für die er kämpft. Le Carré stellt in seinen Romanen wiederholt die Frage, ob der Zweck die Mittel heiligt und ob der Westen zu den Mitteln des Ostens greifen darf, um sich zu verteidigen, und trotzdem eine Gesellschaft bleibt, die es wert ist, verteidigt zu werden. Auch nach Ende des Kalten Krieges ist le Carré seiner Thematik treu geblieben: Männer, die sich für das Individuum und gegen die Institution entscheiden, sowie Kritik an der Politik des Westens. . . Für sein literarisches Schaffen wurde er von den Mystery Writers of America 1984 mit dem Grand Master Award und von der Vereinigung der englischen Krimi-Schriftsteller 1988 mit dem Diamond Dagger ausgezeichnet. 2005 vergab die britische Crime Writers' Association (CWA) anlässlich der 50. Verleihung einen speziellen Dagger of Daggers für den besten Kriminalroman der letzten 50 Jahre. Preisträger war John Le Carré mit seinem Roman The Spy Who Came In From The Cold (dt.: Der Spion, der aus der Kälte kam). .
