Synopsis
Peter Guillam, leal colega y discípulo de George Smiley en los servicios secretos británicos –conocidos como El Circo–, disfruta de su jubilación en la finca familiar de la costa meridional de Bretaña, cuando una carta de su antigua organización lo insta a regresar a Londres. ¿El motivo? Su pasado en la Guerra Fría lo reclama. Unas operaciones de inteligencia que habían sido el orgullo del Londres secreto y habían implicado a personajes como Alec Leamas, Jim Prideaux, George Smiley o el propio Peter Guillam están a punto de ser investigadas con criterios perturbadores, por una generación sin memoria de la Guerra Fría ni paciencia para atender a sus justificaciones. Entretejiendo pasado y presente para que ambos cuenten su tensa historia, John le Carré ha urdido una única trama tan ingeniosa y apasionante como la de las dos predecesoras sobre las que se ha basado: El espía que surgió del frío y El topo. El pasado ha venido a cobrarse sus deudas. Después de más de 25 años, vuelve George Smiley.
The undisputed master returns with a riveting new book-his first Smiley novel in more than twenty-five years. Peter Guillam, staunch colleague and disciple of George Smiley of the British Secret Service, otherwise known as the Circus, is living out his old age on the family farmstead on the south coast of Brittany when a letter from his old Service summons him to London. The reason? His Cold War past has come back to claim him. Intelligence operations that were once the toast of secret London, and involved such characters as Alec Leamas, Jim Prideaux, George Smiley and Peter Guillam himself, are to be scrutinized by a generation with no memory of the Cold War and no patience with its justifications.
Interweaving past with present so that each may tell its own intense story, John le Carré has spun a single plot as ingenious and thrilling as the two predecessors on which it looks back: The Spy Who Came in from the Cold and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. In a story resonating with tension, humor and moral ambivalence, le Carré and his narrator Peter Guillam present the reader with a legacy of unforgettable characters old and new.
