Secrecy came naturally to John le Carré, and there were some secrets that he fought fiercely to keep. Nowhere was this more so than in his private life. Apparently content in his marriage, the novelist conducted a string of love affairs over four decades.To keep these relationships secret, he made use of tradecraft that he had learned as a spy: code names and cover stories, cut outs, safe houses and dead letter boxes. Such affairs introduced both jeopardy and excitement into what was otherwise a quiet, ordered life. Le Carré seemed to require the stimulus they provided in order to write, though this meant deceiving those closest to him.It is no coincidence that betrayal became a recurrent theme in his work. Adam Sisman's definitive biography, published in 2015, revealed much about the elusive spy-turned-novelist; yet le Carré was adamant that some subjects should remain hidden, at least during his lifetime. The Secret Life of John le Carré is the story of what was left out, and offers reflections on the difficult relationship between biographer and subject.More than that, it adds a necessary coda to the life and work of this complex, driven, restless man. The Secret Life of John le Carré reveals a hitherto-hidden perspective on the life and work of the spy-turned-author and a fascinating meditation on the complex relationship between biographer and subject.

Není tu nezničitelný James Bond ani megalomanský padouch jako jeho protivníci, ale je tu jedna bezpečnostní služba stojící proti druhé a někdy i proti třetí. Takhle to ve světě špionáže za studené války opravdu fungovalo, přestože, jak autor tvrdí v brilantním doslovu, je to dílo čisté fikce.Alec Leamas má za úkol dostat z Východního Berlína všechny britské agenty poté, co město rozdělila zeď. Jednoho mu však Němci zastřelí. Po návratu do Londýna přistoupí na riskantní plán obvinit agenta Mundta z toho, že je dvojitý špion -- sám Leamas má totiž tuto roli hrát a získat si důvěru německé tajné služby. Krůček po krůčku se celá hra blíží k překvapivému konci…

V ústředí jejich zpravodajské služby řádí počátkem 70. let dvojitý agent čili „krtek“ řízený Moskvou. Nové kolektivní vedení instituce proto povolá osobu donedávna nežádoucí: předčasně penzionovaného, manželkou zrazeného, zato ostříleného kozáka George Smileyho.

Audiokniha: Kdo chce přežít studenou válku, musí být tvrdší než železná opona… Podzim 1961. Protože útěk z čerstvě zazděného východního Berlína skončil katastrofou a tamní rozvědka síť jeho kontaktů postřílela, je agent britské MI6 Alec Leamas nadřízenými poslán k ledu. Přesněji odložen do knihovny. Stane se z něj ztroskotanec s opileckými sklony, který dluží, kam se podívá, a přesto s ním stále cloumá vztek i chuť se úhlavnímu východoněmeckému soupeři Mundtovi pomstít. Jenže to by znamenalo vydat se opět do jámy lvové v roli přeběhlíka a zosnovat v NDR složitou zpravodajskou hru, jež by Mundta v očích jeho tajné služby zkompromitovala coby dvojitého agenta. Kolik vrstev lží a přetvářky bude zapotřebí, aby vyhořelý pěšák studené války v misi uspěl? A neuškodí si za Zdí věčným britským lpěním na morálce?

The founders of Antoinette Poisson take readers inside their historic townhouse on the Atlantic coast to discover a style and art of entertaining rooted in French tradition and elegance. Maison Lescop in Port-Louis, Brittany―the historic residence of an eighteenth-century French importer for the Indian trading company―seemed predestined to become the new home and restoration project for the creative duo behind Antoinette Poisson, a Parisian design team dedicated to reviving the savoir faire of domino paper for home decoration and furnishings. The art historians became enchanted by the poetic beauty of this artisanal craft―derived from an Indian block print technique―when they uncovered original hand-painted eighteenth-century domino wallpaper while restoring a mansion in central France. Charmed by the repeat-pattern domino prints―which range from florals and fauna to geometric and ikat―they have appointed their new home with attractive decorative touches―handmade lampshades, wallpaper lined armoires, papier-mâché wedding boxes, assorted table settings, and luxurious textiles. Celebrating the rhythm of life in France, their adventures range from shopping at the local market and antiquing, to paper making and indigo textile dyeing, and they share seasonal French meals inspired by antique cookbooks. This exquisitely photographed book is a celebration of authentic French style.
