Smiley Versus Karla Omnibus

Le Carré, John
John le Carré was born in 1931. His third novel, THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD, secured him a wide reputation which was consolidated by the acclaim for his trilogy TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY, THE HONOURABLE SCHOOLBOY and SMILEY'S PEOPLE. His other novels include THE CONSTANT GARDENER, A MOST WANTED MAN and OUR KIND OF TRAITOR.

'John le Carre is the great master of the spy story ... The constant flow of emotion lifts him not only above all modern suspense novelists, but above most novelists now practising.' -- Financial Times 'A great thriller, the best le Carre has written.' -- Spectator on TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY 'John le Carre is the great master of the spy story ... the constant flow of emotion lifts him above most novelists now practising.' -- Financial Times on TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY 'His command of detail is staggering, his straightforward, unaffected prose is superb. In short, wonderful value.' -- The Sunday Times on THE HONOURABLE SCHOOLBOY 'Energy, compassion, rich and overwhelming sweep of character and action ... one of the finest English novels of the seventies' -- The Times on THE HONOURABLE SCHOOLBOY 'It is an achievement of subtlety and power of which few novelists would be capable. Standing by itself it is the best single thing le Carre has done' -- Financial Times on SMILEY'S PEOPLE 'An enormously skilled and satisfying work.' -- Newsweek on SMILEY'S PEOPLE 'Inspired by the critical success of Tomas Alfredson's masterful Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy adaptation, this bumper volume repackages three of John Le Carre's greatest George Smiley stories. As well as the aforementioned TTSS, there's Smiley's return to an ailing Circus in The Honourable Schoolboy and his climactic Berlin showdown with the ominous Karla in Smiley's People. Thrilling from start to finish.' -- Shortlist
