John le Carré’s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy explores the tensions of the Cold War and the impact of Britain's declining place in the world. It is a masterful work of overlapping timelines, brilliant character portraits mixed in with personal and professional betrayal.   

‘No spy novel has captured England—or the human capacity for duplicity—like John le Carré’s hunt for the mole.’ The Atlantic

‘Le dictionnaire Oxford a crédité John le Carré de la paternité du mot "taupe" parmi de nombreux autres termes d'espionnage.’ Franceinfo.
