Ebooks Free Download | The Honourable Schoolboy | John le Carré's classic novels deftly navigate readers through the intricate shadow worlds of international espionage with unsurpassed skill and knowledge and have earned him and his hero, British Secret Service agent George Smiley - unprecedented worldwide acclaim. In this classic masterwork, le Carré expands upon his extraordinary vision of a secret world as George Smiley goes on the attack. In the wake of a demoralizing infiltration by a Soviet double agent, Smiley has been made ringmaster of the Circus (aka the British Secret Service).
Determined to restore the organization's health and reputation, and bent on revenge, Smiley thrusts his own handpicked operative into action. Jerry Westerby, "The Honourable Schoolboy," is dispatched to the Far East. A burial ground of French, British, and American colonial cultures, the region is a fabled testing ground of patriotic allegiances?and a new showdown is about to begin. About twenty years ago, fresh out of high school, I became a serious John Le Carre fan and read all the books he has written until then. The Honourable Schoolboy, written in 1977, and the second part of a trilogy (the first part is Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, the last is Smiley's people) is the novel of Le Carre I have liked most. The plot has the Circus, led by George Smiley - a stand in for MI6, of course - right after the failure of having a mole inside in the previous book, weaves a spider's web around a succesful businessman in Hong Kong who is actually a spy for the People's Republic of China. What I liked best about the book is how it slowly but relentlessly captures the action of the reader and how it shows the nitty gritty aspect of intelligence collecting, which is probably more realistic of what intelligence agencies do than the swashbuckling action. Anyway, I highly recommend this novel.
