The Pigeon Tunnel : Stories from My Life

Popis:

THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER `Out of the secret world I once knew, I have tried to make a theatre for the larger worlds we inhabit. First comes the imagining, then the search for reality. Then back to the imagining, and to the desk where I`m sitting now.` The Pigeon Tunnel, John le Carre`s memoir and his first work of non-fiction, is a thrilling journey into the worlds of his `secret sharers` - the men and women, who inspired some of his most enthralling novels - and a testament to the author`s extraordinary engagement with the last half-century. The reader is swept along not just by the chilling winds of the Cold War or by the author`s frightening journeys into places of terrible violence but, most importantly, by the author`s inimitable voice. In this astonishing work we see our world, both public and private, through the eyes of one of this country`s greatest writers. `No other writer has charted - pitilessly for politicians but thrillingly for readers - the public and secret histories of his times` Guardian `John le Carre is as recognizable a writer as Dickens or Austen` Financial Times `When I was under house arrest I was helped by the books of John le Carre ...they were a journey into the wider world . ..These were the journeys that made me feel that I was not really cut off from the rest of humankind` Aung San Suu Kyi
