About this product
Product Information
A gripping tale of espionage and deceit from the master of the spy novel, new to Penguin Modern Classics After a routine security check by George Smiley, civil servant Samuel Fennan apparently kills himself. When Smiley finds Circus head Maston is trying to blame him for the man's death, he begins his own investigation, meeting with Fennan's widow to find out what could have led him to such desperation. But on the very day that Smiley is ordered off the enquiry he receives an urgent letter from the dead man. Do the East Germans - and their agents - know more about this man's death than the Circus previously imagined? Le Carre's debut novel, Call for the Dead, introduced the tenacious and retiring George Smiley in a gripping tale of espionage and deceit.Product Identifiers

The title fits well with the theme of the novel which is captivating reading.
I have only recently begun ready the novels of John Le Carre. When I think of George Smiley, I see Alec Guinness and I don't think anyone could have played the role, better. I also saw, recently again, on television, 'The Spy Who Came In From The Cold', starring Richard Burton. In my younger days, I had seen this film, but I didn't understand it and it didn't seem to fit in with any of spy thrillers of that era - guns, looks and silk sheets. I'm 68 now and now I'm beginning to understand 'The Spy Who Came In From The Cold', 'Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy' and 'Smiley's People'. I lived through the Cold War and it seems today to still be alive and kicking - kicking very hard. I've gone to the author I wish I had read many years earlier, but was not ready for. Now I am, and 'Call For The Dead' made sense and I'm ready for the next, and the next.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

I would have preferred the full edition.
I would have preferred the full edition. As I read this it was clear where sections had been edited out in order to achieve the shorter format.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Introducing George Smiley
Introducing George Smiley to the world, this book is amazingly well-written as a first book in a long career of excellent thrillers by John le Carre, most of which have been turned into box office hits at the cinema.. Never seen a film of this one though-will have a look on Amazon Prime...Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
