«Die Libelle» is the spy novel by John le Carré, published by Heyne Verlag in paperback (637 pages, in German).
Charlie, a young English actress, is recruited by the Israeli secret services to play a role in real life: infiltrate a Palestinian terrorist group and win the trust of its leader. The novel combines the suspense of espionage with a portrait of feigned identities and crossed loyalties in the Middle East conflict.
This 1989 German edition corresponds to the novel originally titled «The Little Drummer Girl», translated by Werner Peterich.
For readers of spy novels with psychological tension and a setting in the Middle East conflict.
David John Moore Cornwell, known by his pen name John le Carré, was an English author. Many of his espionage novels have been adapted for film or television. He has been described as a "sophisticated, morally ambiguous writer", and is considered one of the greatest novelists of the postwar era. During the 1950s and 1960s, he worked for both the Security Service (MI5) and the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6). Near the end of his life, le Carré became an Irish citizen.
