About This Item
Published by Hodder & Stoughton, London; 2004. 8vo. 383pp. First edition, first impression. Condition: Fine/Fine.
Bound in original red cloth boards with title to the spine. The binding is square and tight and in excellent condition, with just a hint of bumping to the spine ends. Inside, the pages are clean and bright and free from marks or damage, appearing practically unread.
This beautiful book is housed in its original dust jacket, which is in equally smart condition, free from any marks or damage, save a hint of bumping to the spine ends.
In all, this is a very smart, collectible example of this modern first by le Carré. This novel is a fast-paced novel that spans 56 years. It is a theatrical masterpiece of tragi-comic writing, and a savage fable of our time, almost of our hours.
