Condition: Fine

Description: Published by Hodder & Stoughton, London; 1986. First edition, first impression. Condition: Fine/Near Fine This is a very smart example of this modern first edition by the incredibly popular author John Le Carré. Tightly bound in it's original blue cloth boards with gilt title to the spine. Other than some bumping to the spine ends, the binding is in excellent condition. Inside, the pages are clean and bright with no marks or blemishes to speak of, which are barely noticeable at all. The binding is tight and the book appears barely read. This lovely book is housed in an equally smart, unclipped dust jacket. Again, it is bright and smart and free from damage or marking with just a hint of bumping to the edges and slight fading to the spine. Overall, this is an excellent copy of this first edition in which, blending wit and compassion with unflagging tension, le Carré sweeps us into a secret universe in which his essentially innocent hero strives to reconcile the conflicting elements of his very English heritage. This would be the perfect addition to any modern collection of first editions.

Price: US$211.74 + shipping

Condition: Fine

Description: A Perfect Spy Signed by John le Carré First Edition Hodder & Stoughton 1986. No previous owner's name inscriptions or marks. Contents and edges are free of foxing. Covers are fine, bright and completely unblemished. In a near fine dust jacket with no tears or loss. Not price clipped. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR by way of decorative bookplate on half title page. A Perfect Spy is a complex and deeply introspective novel by John le Carré that delves into the life of Magnus Pym, a British intelligence officer who is torn between his loyalty to his country and his moral compass. The novel spans over five decades, from the 1930s to the 1980s, and traces Pym's tumultuous journey from his childhood in a dysfunctional family to his rise and fall in the shadowy world of espionage. Central to the novel is the relationship between Pym and his enigmatic father, Rick Pym, a charismatic and manipulative figure who introduces his son to the world of espionage. Rick's influence shapes Pym's perception of loyalty and duty, leading him to adopt a life of deception and double-dealing. As Pym moves through various intelligence roles, he becomes increasingly disillusioned with the moral compromises required in the espionage game. His conscience struggles against the demands of his profession, and he grapples with the question of whether it is possible to remain true to oneself while operating in such a treacherous world. The novel's exploration of Pym's moral dilemmas is interwoven with a broader commentary on the nature of espionage and the blurred lines between truth and deception. le Carré deftly exposes the hypocrisy and manipulation that often lie beneath the façade of intelligence agencies, while also acknowledging the real dangers and sacrifices inherent in the profession. A Perfect Spy is a masterfully crafted novel that offers a profound and unsettling examination of identity, loyalty, and the moral complexities of espionage. It is a story that lingers long after the final page, leaving readers to ponder the enduring question of what it truly means to be a "perfect spy."

Description: An unique signed set of John Le Carre's novel 'The Perfect Spy' Comprising a first edition, fourth impression and an uncorrected proof of the same novel. With association to television adaptations of Le Carre's works. The first edition fourth impression has the original dustwrapper, which is price clipped. An amended price sticker is to the front flyleaf. To the dedication leaf John Le Carre has signed this work to Dudley Sutton, 'with affection on his 60th. John Le Carre, alias David'. Dudley Sutton plated Kirov in the television adaptation of Le Carre's novel 'Smiley's People'.Loosely inserted to the proof of 'A Perfect Spy' is Peter Egan's signature. Egan played Magnus Pym in the television adaptation of this novel. A BBC photograph of Egan as Magnus Pym and Ray McAnaly as Rick Pym is loosely inserted too with a press release to the reverse. Loosely inserted is a review of the novel which questions if Le Carre is a spy as there is 'so much astonishing autobiography in his new book 'A Perfect Spy'. The proof is in its original scarce dustwrapper.'A Perfect Spy' deals with the mental and moral dissolution of a high level secret service agent, and puts a spotlight on the intricacies of international espionage.A fascinating association, with relation to the very highly regarded television production of Le Carre's novel. In the publisher's original bindings. Both the proof and book publication have the original dustwrappers. Externally, smart. A few spots to the proof. Dustwrappers are generally smart. Light shelfwear to the edges. Rubbing to the extremities of the proof to 'A Perfect Spy'. Internally, firmly bound. Author's inscription to the dedication leaf of the novel. Pages are bright. Just the odd spot. Dustwrapper for the proof is Very Good Indeed. Near Fine
