A PERFECT SPY
2022ABE-1654964841944FOLIO London 2022 Le Carré understood that espionage is an extreme version of the human comedy even the human tragedy. A Perfect Spy will very likely remain his greatest book. Widely regarded as John le Carré s masterpiece A Perfect Spy is also the author s most autobiographical work drawing on his own early life and experiences. The result is a novel that is both a thrill ride of interconnected mysteries and a moving portrayal of a life marked by subterfuge and betrayal. For this first ever illustrated edition The Folio Society and artist Sam Green worked closely with the le Carré estate to ensure that the illustrations captured all the novel s tension and poignancy. When talking about the book le Carré commented: Although I've never been to a shrink writing A Perfect Spy is probably what a very wise shrink would have advised me to do . This very special novel represents a chance not only to read one of the greatest spy stories every written it also provides an opportunity to get to know one of our greatest writers a little better.
