Synopsis
John le Carre's classic novels deftly navigate readers through the intricate shadow worlds of international espionage with unsurpassed skill and knowledge, and have earned him unprecedented worldwide acclaim. Immersing readers in two parallel dramas -- one about the making of a spy, the other chronicling his seemingly imminent demise -- le Carre offers one of his richest and most morally resonant novels. Magnus Pym -- son of Rick, father of Tom, and a successful career officer of British Intelligence -- has vanished, to the dismay of his friends, enemies, and wife. Who is he? Who was he? Who owns him? Who trained him? Secrets of state are at risk. As the truth about Pym gradually emerges, the reader joins Pym's pursuers to explore the unsettling life and motives of a man who fought the wars he inherited with the only weapons he knew, and so became a perfect spy.

    Zero Communication. No response to any questions, or attempts at communication. Good Price. Reasonable packing. Heavy book, so shipping was probably spot on. Has a "Best Offer" button, but has a flat denial up to $1 below asking price. So, I'd not shop their closet, but if you know you need the item, they're OK. Frustrating though.

    Hi there. I was so surprised to see this, and we have since communicated , and clarified that no messages were received or logged despite the buyer having sent several! Sorry this happened and it seems to be an ebay platform “ glitch”. I would never ignore messages from buyers and it is unfortunate that this happened.

    Although the above is all true, I blame Ebay that the seller did not receive the "contact seller" message I sent b/c shipping to my address sometimes requires extra packaging; or that they did not receive my "make offer" bids, or the notes sent along with them. There may be a problem hidden in settings, or a glitch, but the seller certainly was communicative (we messaged all day) once she KNEW about the problem, which she didn't have to as the transaction was already completed in her favor.

  • Excellent read

    After being in the spy business for twenty five (25) years and coordinating with several foreign intelligence services, I highly recommend this book and all the others written by Le Carre.
