Set in the atmosphere of the Cold War, this novel, which has been repeatedly printed and turned into a movie, deals with the conflict between British and Russian intelligence in Europe. With a well-crafted plot from a great master of this genre, John le Carré presents a picture of that period that he personally lived before becoming one of the most prominent writers of suspense novels that makes the reader focus with all his feelings to follow the threads that he weaves with skill and passion.
