L'ottavo romanzo di spionaggio di John le Carré a presentare il suo personaggio più duraturo e amato, George Smiley, e un'avvincente impresa di brillantezza narrativa, The Secret Pilgrim è pubblicato in Penguin Modern Classics con una postfazione dell'autore. La Guerra Fredda è finita e Ned è stato declassato all'accademia di formazione. Chiede al suo vecchio mentore, George Smiley, di parlare alla sua classe di laureati. Non ci sono ricordi riciclati; Smiley dice la verità, forse l'ultima che gli studenti sentiranno mai. Mentre ascoltano, Ned ricorda i suoi dolorosi trionfi e i suoi ingloriosi fallimenti, in una carriera che lo ha portato dalle isole occidentali della Scozia ad Amburgo e da Israele alla Cambogia. Si chiede: ha fatto del bene? Cosa mi ha fatto? E cosa ci succederà ora? In questo tardo romanzo di Smiley, la grande spia fornisce le sue risposte umane e inaspettate. Se ti è piaciuto The Secret Pilgrim, potresti apprezzare The Spy Who Came In From the Cold di le Carré, disponibile anche in Penguin Modern Classics. Observer "consumato e avvincente".

John le Carré was born in 1931. For six decades, he wrote novels that came to define our age. The son of a confidence trickster, he spent his childhood between boarding school and the London underworld. At sixteen he found refuge at the University of Bern, then later at Oxford. A spell of teaching at Eton led him to a short career in British Intelligence (MI5 & 6). He published his debut novel, Call for the Dead, in 1961 while still a secret servant. His third novel, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, secured him a worldwide reputation, which was consolidated by the acclaim for his trilogy, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Honourable Schoolboy and Smiley's People. At the end of the Cold War, le Carré widened his scope to explore an international landscape including the arms trade and the War on Terror. His memoir, The Pigeon Tunnel, was published in 2016 and the last George Smiley novel, A Legacy of Spies, appeared in 2017. He died on 12 December 2020. His posthumous novel, Silverview, was published in 2021.
The last of John le Carré's espionage novels to feature his most enduring and well-loved character, George Smiley, and a gripping feat of narrative brilliance, The Secret Pilgrim is published in Penguin Modern Classics with an afterword by the author.
