John le Carré's classic novels deftly navigate readers
through the intricate shadow worlds of international
espionage with unsurpassed skill and knowledge, and have
earned him unprecedented worldwide acclaim.
Immersing readers in two parallel dramas -- one about the
making of a spy, the other chronicling his seemingly
imminent demise -- le Carré offers one of his richest and
most morally resonant novels.
Magnus Pym -- son of Rick, father of Tom, and a successful
career officer of British Intelligence -- has vanished, to
the dismay of his friends, enemies, and wife. Who is he? Who
was he? Who owns him? Who trained him? Secrets of state are
at risk. As the truth about Pym gradually emerges, the
reader joins Pym's pursuers to explore the unsettling life
and motives of a man who fought the wars he inherited with
the only weapons he knew, and so became a perfect spy.
