The night manager is Jonathan,orphan son of a soldier hero,too-young veteran of clandestine operations in the bandit country of South Armagh.In flight from a failed marriage and his own past,Jonathan has taken refuge in the luxury hotel trade,but finds no escape from his demons.
Driven partly by a desire for atonement and partly by inherited patriotism, Jonathan allows himself to be recruited as a British secret agent with a mission to expose the murderer of the woman he himself betrayed.
His odyssey takes him to the cliffs of West Cornwall,to the mining belt of Quebec province, to the decadent splendour of the Bahamas and the Caribbean and the jungles of post-Noriega Panama: but most fatefully to the jungles of secret Whitehall and Washington,where the unholy alliance between the intelligence community and the secret arms trade has its heart of darkness.
In 'The Night Manager.' Le Carre has given us his best novel to date (then 1993): a story of majestic reach,funny,sad,captivating and constantly thrilling; of wickedness and courage, love and greed,of one man's search for himself in a world going to the devil - and of the two women,one murdered and one living,who mysteriously direct his journey.
John Le Carre was born in 1931.After attending the universities of Bern and Oxford he taught at Eton and spent five years in the British Foreign Service.'The Spy Who Came in from the Cold.',his third book [see my book ID rja1642 for UK,8vo HB+ dw/dj,1st edn],secured him a wide reputation which was consolidated by the acclaim for his George Smiley trilogy,'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.','The Honourable Schoolboy.'[see rja429212] and 'Smiley's People.'[see my book IDs' rja416512 and rja4167132 - UK,HB+dw/dj,1st edns.].
