One cannot stay in the cold all the time, it is necessary to return from the cold. Johann Le Carré," The Berlin Spy
This book review borrows the title of Mr. Donnor's guide to the front of "The Spy In Berlin", and from this title alone, this work is attractive enough. The theme of espionage and detective has always been a type of work that is deeply loved by the broad masses of the people, whether it is a novel, a TV series, or a movie, every year.
Of course, the quality is also uneven.
Like the introduction to the book, it is necessary to introduce the author himself, John Le Carré worked in the British intelligence agency before his retirement, and is a legendary person with real experiences. But it is also quite interesting to say, it is also from Le Carré, many British intelligence officers have also written novels after retirement, but their achievements are far less than his.
In fact, spy novels and historical novels are quite similar, because most of the authors are not witnesses, so in the process of writing, subjective emotions and imagination are often added, and it is even easy to add their own subtle influences, and these authors are often affected by a novel, a TV series, or even an anime that they like very much.
Therefore, most novels with espionage and historical themes will fall into a modern romantic atmosphere, that is, to perform contemporary plots in espionage costumes or historical costumes.
But Le Carré is different, this guy is a witness.
And "Berlin Spy" is one of his masterpieces, which has won many awards, which has also established his status as the "first person in spy novels". In fact, even now, "Spy In Berlin" can still be used as a story model as a script for film adaptations, but the end of the story does not promote patriotism like "Latent", which may make it lose its shooting capital.
"Spy On Berlin" is set against the backdrop of espionage on both sides of the Berlin Wall during the Cold War. The protagonist, Limas, is the British intelligence chief stationed in West Germany, and he leads his team to collect intelligence from East Germany. Ray Mike is his spy buried in East Delhi, and the book begins with Ray Mike's righteousness, starting with failure, telling the story of how they fight back and take revenge.
The retaliatory action is to pretend that because of the failure of the operation, Elimas is punished and then collapsed, deviates from the trajectory of life, has no money, is restless, beats people into prison and starts... That is, how to be miserable, to attract the attention of the enemy camp and to confuse the enemy into believing that he needs to defect.
The task limas was given to break into the enemy and use the "intelligence" provided by him to eliminate the murderer of Remyk, the director of the East German Intelligence Service, Monte.
Of course, in his worst time, there were beautiful people to help, Liz is a member of the British Communist Party, is a low-level librarian, deeply baptized by communism, emphasizing the care of every comrade around him, so when everyone abandons Limas, she takes the initiative to come forward, desperately take care of him who is sick, give him love, and burst into love with him.
"Of course you're not going to be more detrimental to you than if you were spreading your fanaticism to others. You're a lot like someone who vows to take revenge or do something. ”
But the task was bigger than the sky, and Limas could only temporarily suppress his emotions and continue the task. After his release from prison, he did get the attention of the East German intelligence officers, and traveled to Several places to come to East Germany, where he met the person he wanted to see in advance, Federer, the deputy director of the East German Intelligence Service, because his original plan was to get rid of the director through the hand of the deputy director.
The spy genre is the same as the detective novel, the story is going to be reversed, and it is not interesting not to reverse, so the novel has several reversals, but Limas finally finds that everything is planned, including the innocent Liz.
Of course, in addition to the reversal, this novel has a lot to say.
