Rendition As Books John Le Carré: Three Complete Novels [Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy / The Honourable Schoolboy / Smiley's People] (The Karla Trilogy #1-3)

Three complete, previously-issued novels, each a thrilling tale of espionage from the bestselling author of The Spy Who Came in from the Cold.

Considered the father of the spy thriller, bestselling author John le Carré brings the daring deeds and intricate details of international espionage to center stage. His leading man is George Smiley, sometime acting chief of the Circus (as le Carré's secret service is known): a troubled man of infinite compassion, yet a single-mindedly ruthless adversary.

Through these three enormously successful novels (Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, The Honourable Schoolboy, and Smiley's People), Smiley stalks his opposite number, code-named Karla, the Soviet case officer who has been masterminding the Circus' ruin. The stage is a Cold War landscape of moles and lamplighters, scalp-hunters and pavement artists, where men are turned, burned, or bought.

Comment On Containing Books John Le Carré: Three Complete Novels [Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy / The Honourable Schoolboy / Smiley's People] (The Karla Trilogy #1-3)

Read the three novels in this collection a few decades ago and really loved them. But if anything, reading all three in quick succession this past week has been even more enjoyable. Today I ordered the "Tinker, Tailor" DVD. I enjoyed the BBC productions when PBS showed them back in the day. Nostalgia time, I guess, but really, these books are MOST enjoyable!

I read Tinker, Tailor a few years ago, so was just reading Honorable Schoolboy and Smileys People in this volume. I found the climax of the Honorable Schoolboy a little hard to follow, though the book has its moments. Smileys People is definitely the strongest in the series, both in its depictions of spycraft and in the character work.

Absolutely fabulous. Smiley's People was my first introduction to Le Carré and I still think it is one of his finest, followed by Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and the Honorourable Schoolboy. His descriptions of tradecraft, the dark, sometimes gloomy mood he manages to evoke through dialogue and setting, and the subtle, complex plot he weaves are masterful. The ability to transport the reader to widely varying places like London, Hamburg and Switzerland made the plot come alive in my mind. Smiley

While not a big fan of biographies, this author has chosen a believable balance between man and myth. Definitely well written and researched and absent totally of the meaningless psychologizing perpetrated by most biographers.Good enough to make me decide to re-read le Carre including the few novels I had missed.

The Karla Trilogy, all in one. A long read, but well worth it as it traces the heart of one of fiction's all time great heroes George Smiley in heavy action.

This omnibus as a whole was a slow read for me, but that is probably mostly due to The Honourable Schoolboy, which seemed a bit ponderous. Both Tinker Tailor... and Smiley's People were tight and economically told, but "Schoolboy" seemed more like an adventure tale without a true center. I did enjoy the scenes especially of the bitter end of the Vietnam War as told from the ground (and in the air). Jerry Westerby is kind of a throwback "hero" of sorts, and George Smiley (and Karla for that
