“Get out, spy!”, as John le Carré himself says, is one of the best novels by the British master in the entire history of his work. Today the whole world enthusiastically rereads this classic specimen of a spy thriller.
The plot is based on real events—an investigation and exposure of Soviet spies who operated under deep cover in the headquarters of British intelligence. George Smiley, beloved by readers for more than one generation, is forced out of service—and he isn’t alone: all those who tried to uncover the elusive “mole” operating within the depths of his native office met a sad fate. But the spy’s activities cause such tangible damage that high-ranking officials are forced to summon Smiley again. They need his persistence, stamina, and analytical mind to bring the investigation to a victorious ending step by step.
