The Spy Who Came in from the Cold

John le Carre The Spy Who Came in from the Cold This book is a blemish story, about bluffs between the British Secret Service and the German Democratic Republic. I found it really difficult to understand. The stroy occurs during the Cold War, in the 1950s and 1960s. The main character is Alec Leamas, a british agent in charge of East German espionage. He is recalled to the Circus, because there are no agents left. Control asks him to stay in the cold. That means one last mission for him, his job is providing false information to the East German Communists.During his job in the libary he fells in love with his co-worker, a Jewish woman, Liz Gold. She is at the Communist society in Britain. Leamas goes to jail because he assaults a civilian. He goes to Netherlands, then to East Germany, to the Intelligence Srvice. At the same time, George Smiley and Peter Gulliam travel to Liz Golds house, and have many questions about Alec. Leamas meets Fiedler, an East German spy, Mundts lieutena nt, who joined the Communists and remained an anti-Semite. Mundt ordains the torturing and arresting of Fiedler and Leamas.Than it is a little complicated, becase Fiedler reports Mundt at the same day. I also look it hard to understand the situation from different eyes. We can get to know many characters thoughts. Sometimes I cannot decide which is the good side and the bad. It is very exciting and complicated, sometimes confusing. Fiedler discovers that Mundt is a double agent, and he was arrested before, provided allowed to escape if he agreeing to work. Liz Golds apartment is paid by George Smiley and she promises Leamas to not to look for him afterwards his leaving.Mundt gets to know these thing, and that those things happened before the murdering. Liz is sent to the jail with Leamas, and they are taken in a car together. umteen things become clear. Liz gets to know that the British Intelligence intended to kill Fiedler. The end of the story is outrageous. Personally I waite d for a happy end after many complicated and confounded situations. Liz and Leamas wanted to break the fit on the Berlin Wall, to escape to western Berlin. Leamas climbs up to the Wall and when he touches Lizs hands, she is shot.Smiley tells him to jump down from the West side, but he climbs back. He is shot dead as well. I think he accomplished that he was a fool, he was manipulated and he had that chance to flee, but it did not work, so he gave up. I have never read such a story before, I have a smell that I have to read it once more, because there are many things I did not clear understand. It is so lifelike and realistic that I can imagine it has happened in reality during the Cold War.
