«Silverview» is the spy novel by John le Carré, published by Edicions 62 in hardcover (232 pages, in Catalan).
Julian Lawndsley leaves his good job in the City to run a bookshop in an English coastal town. His new routine is broken when Edward, a Polish émigré living in the house called Silverview, proves to know too much about his family and takes an interest in how the shop works. The novel contrasts innocence with experience and raises the conflict between loyalty to one's country and private moral values.
It belongs to the El Balancí collection (number 847) from Edicions 62. It is translated into Catalan by Núria Parés Sellarès and was originally published in 2021.
Recommended for readers of spy novels and contemporary fiction, as well as for followers of John le Carré's final work.
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.
