John le Carré’s work has come to define not only the best of spy fiction but the very colour of our times. An insightful observer of the human condition and contemporary geopolitics alike, le Carré’s novels are exciting, thought-provoking and touch on both eternal truths and deeply felt issues of the moment. From his breakout 1963 novel The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, to 2017’s best-selling A Legacy of Spies, le Carré’s timeless works have endured and continue to be critically acclaimed and loved by audiences around the world. Le Carré’s twenty-six books have been published in over 50 countries and 40 languages.
