First published in 1974, TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY is very probably John le Carre's masterpiece. Like Grahame Greene, le Carre transcends the spy genre, writing novels that rank among the most critically acclaimed fiction of the late 20th Century. By no means a one-dimenional thriller, TINKER is a subtle, gripping novel that derives suspense from its moral and psychological complexity. Its spies are distinct individuals caught in a web of international Cold-War intrigue--from the protagonist Smiley, recalling his days as an agent "living with terror in his mouth, naked to every stranger's glance," to every spy, friend and enemy, whom Smiley encounters: all human casualties of a dangerous profession. This Folio Society edition of TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY is bound in buckram and blocked with a design by illustrator Tim Laing, whose atmospheric interior drawings brilliantly portray le Carre's shadowy world.
