The novel is mostly a search into the true identity of Tadeusz Miernik, a fascinating character. The protagonist, of sorts, is Paul Christopher, a CIA operative. We are certain of two other agents, Nigel Collins of M16, and Ilona a Soviet agent and concentration camp survivor. The most admirable character is Tadeusz's sister, Zofia who tells a debriefer , "Ordinary life, for you, is pornography. No, no, I'm not blaming you or any of the others who are like you from Russia to America. The South Pole as well, I suppose." The novel is a riveting search for truth but it the truth it reveals are mostly ambiguities An epistolary spy novel told in dispatches and field reports from 1972 right at the heart of the Cold War. This was sophisticated and witty and charming and sexy. I forget that the Cold War was often fought by people who had experienced real war. In this crazy narrative American spies work alongside African princes and concentration camp survivors in a plot concerning Russian sponsorship of a Communist uprising in the Sudan. It never felt like it should work as a novel but it came together more satisfyingly than thought it might. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SeriePaul Christopher (1)
HTML: The Miernik Dossier is the dazzling first novel, recently reissued, by master spy novelist Charles McCarry. In this riveting, imaginative tale, five international agents embark on a road trip in a Cadillac from Switzerland to the Sudan. Among them are Paul Christopher, an American operative; Kalash el Khatar, the seven-foot-tall Muslim prince; Ilona Bentley, the beautiful half-English, half-Hungarian girlfriend of the British national, Nigel Collins; and Tadeusz Miernik, the shy and bumbling Polish scientist who might be the leader of a terror force that could set the Cold War aflame. Related as a collection of dossier notes written by the five characters, the novel reveals a complicated web in which each spins his or her own deception: each is a spider, and each a spy. The Miernik Dossier is an absolute masterpiece. . Mystery. Fiction.Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
