le Carré, John - A Perfect Spy (Published in by The Folio Society in 2022. John le Carré's extraordinary spy thriller features eight colour illustrations by artist Sam Green, as well as a special illustrated slipcase. The perfect collector's edition of A Perfect Spy. Widely regarded as John le Carré's masterpiece, A Perfect Spy is also the author's most autobiographical work, drawing on his own early life and experiences. The result is a novel that is both a thrill ride of interconnected mysteries, and a moving portrayal of a life marked by subterfuge and betrayal. For this first ever illustrated edition, The Folio Society and artist Sam Green worked closely with the le Carré estate to ensure that the illustrations captured all the novel's tension and poignancy. When talking about the book, le Carré commented: 'Although I've never been to a shrink, writing A Perfect Spy is probably what a very wise shrink would have advised me to do'. This very special novel represents a chance not only to read one of the greatest spy stories every written, it also provides an opportunity to get to know one of our greatest writers a little better. Bound in screen-printed and blocked cloth. Set in Imprint with Laima as display. 608 pages. Integrated black-and-white title-page illustration plus 8 full-page colour illustrations.
Black page tops. Printed and blocked slipcase. 9.5" x 6.25". )
