The Honourable Schoolboy

John le Carrés famous books skilfully guide readers through the complex shadow realms of international espionage with unrivalled skill and experience, earning him — and his hero, British Secret Service agent George Smiley — unprecedented international recognition. As George Smiley goes on the attack, le Carré builds on his remarkable picture of a secret world in this great opus. Smiley has been appointed ringmaster of the Circus, following a devastating infiltration by a Soviet secret agent (aka the British Secret Service). Smiley sends his own selected agent into action, determined to restore the organizations health and image while seeking vengeance. The Honourable Schoolboy, Jerry Westerby, is sent to the Far East. The region is a famous testing ground of national allegiances? It is a burial site of French, British, and American colonial civilizations. A new showdown is about to commence.
