A Tiger and his Stripes

SINGLE & SINGLE

John le Carré

This renowned author is known for his novels of espionage and suspense, departing originally from the Cold War and continuing into an amoral post-Soviet mire of ambition and deceit. The sub-text of his work lies, however, in his mastery of narrative technique, and the creation and revelation of extraordinary characters, generally of subdued personality. They belong in the shadowland of subterfuge, after all.

This book, however, unlike its numerous and prodigious companions, is plodding and obsessive. It deals less with spies and more with finance, curried in relationships, and specifically the complex psyche of the father-son syndrome...or, as the case may be, disorder. And given the authorâs own introduction to this edition, he is writing of himself and the father he abhors, deplores and adores. The poetry of the text is therefore far beyond gritty. It is painful. A towering, tremendous, tremulous son, never more than a neophyte in the world of the law and lawlessness, strives to win the approval and acceptance of a diminutive progenitor known as âTigerâ, who is at once crooked, deceitful and pretentious, and a ridiculous caricature of a sociopathic tycoon in the best clothes, cars, food, women, thus naked to his unhappy offspring, who is powerless to stay his demise.

Can a miniature man produce a gigantic son? Yes. It is not only genetically feasible but a frequent occurrence. Can a miniature man foment gigantic upheaval in his large, otherwise attractive and capable offspring? Yes. The tiny father can, especially with a large personality and the wielding of power, make the full-sized son feel insignificant. Why donât people look in the mirror instead of head-on at their ancestors? Psychiatrists would then be out of business! This is an enthralling book, also heart-rending and pathetic. As we say in Spanish, âhijo de tigre, pintitoâ.

LeCarre never misses

Regardless of how long it has been since you last read leCarre, he never disappoints with excellent story and character construction. His skill stands with the modern mystery storytellers.

Surprising

A good bjy not truly believable. Needed more character development. OK buy not great six more words. Enough for me

Certainly as good as any since Spy Who Came in from the ...

I've read most of le Carre's novels, and this ranks near the top! Certainly as good as any since Spy Who Came in from the Cold, and Tinker, Tailor.

Typical Le Carre - and that means a good spy novel

Although the Cold War has long since faded into the history books, John Le Carre is still turning out good, well-written spy stories.

Title: The Constant Gardener (Abridged)

Author: John le Carré

Narrator: John le Carré

Format: Abridged

Length: 6 hrs and 22 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-01-15

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Espionage

Publisher's Summary:

The beautiful Tessa Quayle is murdered near Lake Turkana in Northern Kenya, the birthplace of mankind. And her putative African lover and travelling companion has vanished from the scene of the crime.

Tessas husband, a career diplomat and amateur gardener at the British High Commission in Nairobi, sets out on a personal odyssey in pursuit of the killers and their motive. On his way he meets terror, violence and conspiracy, but his greatest discovery is the woman he barely had time to love.

Frightening, heartbreaking and exquisitely calibrated, The Constant Gardener is a profoundly moving story of a man ennobled by his wife's tragic murder and a magnificent exploration of the dark side of unbridled capitalism.

Critic Reviews:

"Richly detailed, full of righteous fire to offset its desperate prognosis, The Constant Gardener is a very impressive piece of work. It is certainly one of John le Carré's best books." (The Times Literary Supplement)

Members Reviews:

Marry a Child and Change Your Life

Yep, it's a big bad story about the pharma industry... but it's also the story of an unlikely marriage between one too old and one too young, one sedentary and thoughtful, one active and hot-headed. A good story, well told, on both accounts.

A great read. No one develops characters in this genre ...

A great read. No one develops characters in this genre like Le Carre. Not a spy novel at all but a compelling story of a marriage which most of the characters think a bit odd and probably in disrepair but which, in the context of investigating several murders and an international corporate conspiracy, is slowly revealed to be otherwise. I watched the movie with Ralph Fiennes afterwards and, while quite good, is no match for the book. A must read for all Le Carre fans and many more.

good stuff

Nice who done it novel. This was my first experience reading any John Le Carre, I was impressed, he writes well. Probably will buy more of them, as the price goes down on the newer ones.

John le Carre is one of those writers that I ...

John le Carre is one of those writers that I look forward to reading his newest novel. I believe I've read everyone of the novels he has written. The stories including the characters he develops keep me want to keep turning pages until the end. As a retired college English teacher correcting essays is a thing of the past, so now I can sit down and read a novel whenever I want.

Interesting story

Interesting book, a little hard to follow in the beginning, lots of characters, but holds your interest once you get them sorted out.

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Im afrikanischen Kongo wütet seit Jahrzehnten ein grausamer Krieg. Es ist ein Kampf um die kostbaren Rohstoffe, die dieses ansonsten so bitterarme Land in Fülle abbaut und die in jedem digitalen Gerät stecken.

Martin, ein junger Berliner Journalist, reist für seinen ersten großen Rechercheauftrag in den Kongo. Kurz nach seiner Ankunft wird er von den Milizen eines Warlords in Geiselhaft genommen. Ausgelöst wird er von einer Geschäftsfrau aus Ruanda. So gerät der unerfahrene Journalist in die gnadenlosen Hände von russischen Oligarchen, chinesischen Investoren und deutschen Waffenhändlern.

Zu spät stellt Martin fest, dass auch er nur Verhandlungsmasse in einem geopolitischen Schachspiel ist, in dem die Rohstoffverteilung für das 21. Jahrhundert festgelegt wird. Und dass dieser erste große Rechercheauftrag vielleicht sein letzter sein könnte.

Title: Our Kind of Traitor (Abridged)

Author: John le Carré

Narrator: John le Carré

Format: Abridged

Length: 5 hrs and 3 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-01-15

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Espionage

Publisher's Summary:

In John le Carré's electrifying novel Our Kind of Traitor, innocents abroad are drawn into the darkest recesses of the financial world.

Set in contemporary, recession-gripped Britain, a left-leaning young Oxford academic and his barrister girlfriend take an off-peak holiday on the Caribbean island of Antigua. By seeming chance they bump into a Russian millionaire called Dima who owns a peninsula and a diamond-encrusted gold watch. He also has a tattoo on his right thumb and wants a game of tennis.

What else he wants propels the young lovers on a tortuous journey through Paris to a safe house in the Swiss Alps, to the murkiest cloisters of the City of London and its unholy alliance with Britains Intelligence Establishment.

Critic Reviews:

"If you want to know about the state of Britain today, forget the Booker shortlist. Just read John le Carré's latest thriller." (Evening Standard)
