Detalls de l'obraThe Little Drummer Girl de John le Carré (1983)
   No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.  Joop-le-philosophe | Jan 22, 2021 |  A re-read. It's long. It's seemingly tedious at some points. But, boy, is it good and powerful with a very clean, though abrupt end. (  ) tmph | Sep 13, 2020 | Upgraded today from one star solely on the basis that he had the good judgement to decline to be part of the Booker Prize announced today. (  ) bringbackbooks | Jun 16, 2020 | "The Little Drummer Girl" is the third book that I've abandoned in my "20 for 20 Reading Challenge" to read twenty books that are more than twenty hours long. I've really enjoyed the Le Carré books that I've read so far, all of which post-date "The Little Drummer Girl". This book didn't work for me. I listened to the first six and a half hours of the book and found myself increasingly reluctant to return to it, so I've pressed the life's-too-short button and abandoned it, The book is well written and well-narrated. It has some very powerful scenes in it. The characters are well-drawn and the places are well-described. My problem started with the pace, which is slow and evolved into the characters, none of whom I care about. After six and a half hours we've finally reached the point where our young British actress has been successfully recruited to work with the Israelis to help them (somehow) take down a Palestinian terrorist cell. I know every detail of the process used to recruit her and it seems to me to be as credible as it is frightening. Reading it was like watching a craftsman build a brick wall with a complex pattern embedded in it or watching a wrangler tame a wild horse. It's fascinating in its own way but you have to care about the craftsman or the horse. I found I didn't care for either. So I'll never know what Charlie's mission was or whether she succeeded in it or how many people died along the way. I'm OK with that. I'll be back for other Le Carré books but I'm saying good-bye to this one.

Mr. le Carré's novel is certainly the most mature, inventive and powerful book about terrorists-come-to-life this reader has experienced. It transcends the genre by reason of the will and the interests of the author. The story line interests him but does not dominate him. He is interested in writing interestingly about things interesting and not interesting. Terrorism and counterterrorism, intelligence work and espionage are, then, merely the vehicle for a book about love, anomie, cruelty, determination and love of country. ''The Little Drummer Girl'' is about spies as ''Madame Bovary'' is about adultery or ''Crime and Punishment'' about crime. Mr. le Carré easily establishes that he is not beholden to the form he elects to use. This book will permanently raise him out of the espionage league, narrowly viewed.  The conversion of Charlie into the goat tethered to catch the lion (Kurtz’s phrase) is a remarkable piece of writing. It takes a long time to get the goat tethered, and some of the Kurtz-Litvak activities seem drawn out or unlikely, in particular a passage of knockabout comedy with Charlie’s agent. Yet when the operation begins, and Charlie moves deeper and deeper into the Palestine terrorist movement, one sees that the preparations were necessary to our full belief and understanding. The balance between the two violent idealisms is finely kept, and there is a glimpse or anticipation of ‘the ultimate recourse’, the brutal invasion of Lebanon that actually took place. Among a large cast of convincing minor characters the German terrorist Helga and the foxy political middleman Dr Alexis are particularly good.

In this enthralling and thought-provoking novel of Middle Eastern intrigue, Charlie, a brilliant and beautiful young actress, is lured into 'the theatre of the real' by an Israeli intelligence officer. Forced to play her ultimate role, she is plunged into a deceptive and delicate trap set to ensnare an elusive Palestinian terrorist. THE LITTLE DRUMMER GIRL is a thrilling, deeply moving and courageous novel of our times. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
