This is vintage John le Carre (The Times)
Le Carré poses deep spiritual questions about the damage [the human] race has done, and continues to do, both to the planet and to itself. He does so in a page-turner which reminds us that the master storyteller of the Smiley books has lost none of his cunning (A.N. Wilson, Daily Mail, on THE CONSTANT GARDENER)
An absolutely triumphant bestseller-everywhere hailed as the masterpiece toward which John le Carre has been building since the fall of communism. This thrilling tale of Joyaity, betrayal and international espionage spans the lives of two friends from the not-torn West Berlin of the 1960s to the grimy looking-glass of Cold War Europe to the present day of terrorism and uncertain new alliances-alliances that aren't always what they seem to be.

Secondhand, Hardback. , . Ted Mundy is a man history keeps recruiting against his will - an aimless British expatriate who finds himself drawn into the turbulence of 1960s student radicalism in Berlin, where he forges an unlikely and enduring friendship with Sasha, a passionate East German agitator. Decades later, with the Cold War long buried and both men adrift in a changed world, Sasha reappears with a proposal that promises purpose and redemption - but in le Carre's universe, old friendships reactivated by strangers rarely end well. Moving from the idealism of '68 to the shadowy post-9/11 landscape of the War on Terror, Absolute Friends is a slow-burning and deeply melancholy novel about loyalty, betrayal, and the way great powers exploit the small lives caught in their machinery - vintage le Carre, and one of his most politically charged.
