Riassunto

Ted Mundy, British soldier's son born 1947 in the new Republic of Pakistan and Sasha, son of an East German Lutheran pastor, first meet as students in West Berlin in the late 60s, then again in the grimy looking-glass of Cold War espionage and, most terribly, in the modern world of terror.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

Richly detailed, full of righteous fire . . . one of John le Carré's best books' (Sean O'Brien, 'The Times Literary Supplement)

'Thoroughly gripping' - Sunday Times

'Absolute Friends is vintage John le Carre: complex, often sardonically funny, always galvanically written. In fact, his best book in years.' - Daily Express

The book breathes life, anger and excitement (Nigel Williams, Observer)

'With ABSOLUTE FRIENDS Le Carre is back on form. It is his best book for years, probably since A PERFECT SPY. He has founda worthy enemy, a target for his moral indignation. Moreover he has hit a contemporary tune again. This is an anti-war novel and, very fiercely, an anti-American one. It's written with passion.' Allan Massie, Scotsman

This is le Carré with a twist, the Old Master developing new techniques for a new age (Raymond Seitz, The Times)

With ABSOLUTE FRIENDS Le Carre is back on form. It is his best book for years, probably since A PERFECT SPY. He has founda worthy enemy, a target for his moral indignation. Moreover he has hit a contemporary tune again. This is an anti-war novel and, very fiercely, an anti-American one. It's written with passion. (Allan Massie, Scotsman )

'This is ultimately a powerful, passionate and finely-crafted novel, rich in rage and indignation. At 72, the man affords himself the anger of youth at last. It is a timely and perhaps even prescient novel which reflects the concerns of a great many people who remain unconvinced about the war in Iraq' Herald

'Thoroughly gripping' (Sunday Times)

'Absolute Friends is more than just another consummate exercise from a literary master. As a comment on our brave new world, it is a mesmerising roar of outrage.' - Irish Times

Descrizione del libro:

The eagerly awaited new novel by 'the essential voice of our time' (Daily Telegraph). Thrilling, topical and provocative.
