Details
Description
A first edition, first printing of John Le Carre's The Spy Who Came In From The Cold.
- John Le Carre (British).
- United Kingdom: Gollancz, 1963.
- In the original dust jacket.
A Cold War espionage thriller that redefined the spy genre. It follows Alec Leamas, a weary British agent sent on a dangerous mission to East Germany to undermine Communist intelligence. As he becomes entangled in deception, betrayal, and moral ambiguity, Leamas questions the ethics of espionage. Unlike glamorous spy fiction, the novel presents a grim, realistic world of duplicity and sacrifice. Its shocking twists and cynical portrayal of intelligence agencies made it a classic, cementing le Carré’s reputation as a master of the spy novel.
Condition Report
Very GoodSome spotting and darkening to the page edge.
Some offsetting to the front and rear panels and a little to the spine.
In a very good, minutely faded dust wrapper with some light wear to the corners and a fairly clean rear panel – two small internal tape repairs to the front fold and panel.
