No writer has ever captured the world of spies in quite the same way as John Le Carre.

[NOTE: the seller sent a different version of the book with a different dust jacket and not what’s shown here]Great book! Maybe not the best SPY thriller that he ever wrote, but the best book he wrote in terms of the quality of the prose.

This was a very hard slog as it just goes on for ever – well, about half this too-long book – about the narrator's impossibly gregarious, domineering, show-off, callous, flighty, basically uncaring father, a con-artist and swindler as shallow as they get. There is an espionage tale in the latter half, about a smart traitor and the incredibly incompetent British and US secret services who fail to ever catch up with him, fairly interesting but not excessively so. Not a good espionage novel and not a good novel period because of its lack of credibility and scope. It is really a sort of autobiographical novel but certainly not a great one because of all its unceasing bombast.

Di Le Carré possiedo ed ho letto 13 storie, tutte in originale poiché sono bilingue.Mi spiace dire che di tutti i suoi libri che ho letto questo è stato decisamente piuttosto noioso.Alcuni capitoli sono ottimi, ma confesso che nel corso della lettura di 'A Perfect Spy' ho saltato diverse pagine e spesso ho dovuto vincere la tentazione di metterlo da parte.Mi sono chiesto diverse volte perché non l'ho fatto, e perché sono poi arrivato fino in fondo.Credo che la vera ragione risieda nel fatto che trovo la sua prosa incredibilmente brillante. Mi affascina l'uso che Le Carré fa della lingua inglese e la naturalezza con cui molto spesso usa vocaboli insoliti, non di uso corrente, ma perfetti, stringati e diretti per le esigenze delle sue narrazioni.Nonostante queste note credo che continuerò a leggere i suoi romanzi.

The Perfect Spy is a masterpiece of its genre: Le Carre is renowned for his skill and expertise in creating characters and scenarios in this spy-thriller arena and The Perfect Spy is as near perfection as is likely to be achieved for this type of novel.How the Book Awards bodies such as Man-Booker overlooked the Perfect Spy in favour of lesser literary works will always be to their discredit.The high-brow intellectual claims, but in essence snobbishness of the literary elite publishers, agents and critics who annually rejected Le Carre's brilliant work primarily because of their misconceived notion of what constitutes 'popular, contemporary, literary fiction' is something only they will ever understand.The reading public will I am sure regard The Perfect Spy as an outstanding story, a superb narrative exploration of a remarkable character displaying a level of description, analysis and evocative development of themes that may never be matched by any other tome for this genre.No spoilers by me: This Perfect Spy, as any thoughtful reader will grasp from the outset, is anything but that exemplary, supreme Intelligenceagent, however, his story encapsulates the intellectual, philosophical and psychological aspects of that unique Cold War creature - the humanity of those that through choice and force of circumstance must bury their true self from everyone about them - theirs is a story we actually can never know, however, Le Carre in this story surely gives us insight to what creates the sort of person for whom that desperately isolated Life becomes a 'normal' existence.Le Carre at his height of his story-telling powers conveys a depth of sensitivity that will affect every reader.
