Pym, a ranking diplomat, consummate Englishman, loving husband, and secret agent, has mysteriously disappeared. Is he a defector, hiding out? Or has he gone underground? As the search for Pym intensifies, the truth about his life unfolds: the people he has loved and betrayed, the unreliable con-man father who shaped him, the two mentors who molded and shaped him, and now vying to claim him as their own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDescribed by le Carré as his most autobiographical novel, A Perfect Spy is a harrowing portrayal of a man who has assumed so many roles over the years that he has lost himself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLe Carré recognized that espionage is an extreme manifestation of the human comedy, even the human tragedy. A Perfect Spy is widely regarded as le Carré's magnum opus, and it is unlikely to be surpassed in his literary legacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe New Yorker praised the novel, stating, \"A Perfect Spy is a devastating portrayal of a man who has played different roles for so long, he no longer knows who he is. It is a masterpiece of psychological depth and moral complexity.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 456g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 130 x 198 x 32 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780241322482                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John le Carre","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44100972577018,"sku":"9780241322482","price":9.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/028158742cde03a53138ed37aa034838.jpg?v=1631672246","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/perfect-spy","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
