<p>John le Carré was born in 1931. For six decades, he wrote novels that came to define our age. The son of a confidence trickster, he spent his childhood between boarding school and the London underworld. At sixteen he found refuge at the university of Bern, then later at Oxford. A spell of teaching at Eton led him to a short career in British Intelligence (MI5&6). He published his debut novel, <i>Call for the Dead</i>, in 1961 while still a secret servant. His third novel, <i>The Spy Who Came in from the Cold</i>, secured him a worldwide reputation, which was consolidated by the acclaim for his trilogy <i>Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy</i>, <i>The Honourable Schoolboy</i> and <i>Smiley's People</i>. At the end of the Cold War, le Carré widened his scope to explore an international landscape including the arms trade and the War on Terror. His memoir, <i>The Pigeon Tunnel</i>, was published in 2016 and the last George Smiley novel, <i>A Legacy of Spies</i>, appeared in 2017. He died on 12 December 2020. His posthumous novel <i>Silverview</i> was published in 2021.</p>
