Le Carre, John A Small Town in Germany
Coward-McCann, Inc. 1968 Book Club (BCE/BOMC) Hard Cover Very Good Good
"The scene is Bonn, a small provincial town elevated by the cold war to the artificial status of a capital city. The protagonists are British diplomats, their wives, and aspiring German politicians. The time is the recent future. While the Foreign Office is locked in a last desperate battle to enter the Common Market, while the new Germany is being carried away on a rising tide of student-bourgeois nationalism, an aging second secretary has vanished from the British Embassy. His name is Leo Harting: 'a sprite, weightless as the dark.' And he has taken wth him, apparently, official files whose disclosure could ruin Britain's chances at the negotiating table. Alan Turner, a tough investigator from London, is sent to find him. Through Turner's clear eye and puzzled heart we now pursue Leo Haring's past. Through Turner we meet the institutions which employed and rejected him, the women and men who loved, trusted or despised him; we meet the hunter and his quarry. And as the tension gradually mounts we glimpse the pathos, comedy and occasional nobility of a British community no longer strong enough to sustain its own heritage or resist its own history." Light wear to dust jacket with a small tear to the bottom edge.

Le Carre, John The Russia House
New York, New York Bantam Books 1990 0553285343 / 9780553285345 Paperback Good
"We are in the third uncertain summer of perestroika and glasnost. In Moscow, at a small British trade fair, a document changes hands: a sheaf of military secrets that can--if it arrives at its proper destination and if its import is understood--profoundly alter the course of world events. It is certain in any case to have an explosive effect on the lives of three people along the route. One is a Soviet physicist whose burden is his secret knowledge. One is the young Russian woman--the beautiful woman named Katya--to whom the papers have been entrusted. The third is an Englishman--a drinker, a saxophone player, a derelict publisher, who is bewildered to discover that the papers are addressed to him and to find himself pressed into service by British Intelligence. His mission: to trace the document back to its source and ferret out the intention behind it." Wear to edges of cover. Small tear to front cover at bottom of spine. Bookstore stamp inside front cover.
