The Russia House

John le Carré: The Russia House (UK 2020)

From the Publisher:
In, John le Carré's first post-glasnost spy novel, The Russia House captures the effect of a slow and uncertain thaw on ordinary people and on the shadowy puppet-masters who command them.

Barley Blair is not a Service man: he is a small-time publisher, a self-destructive soul whose only loves are whisky and jazz. But it was Barley who, one drunken night at a dacha in Peredelkino during the Moscow Book Fair, was befriended by a high-ranking Soviet scientist who could be the greatest asset to the West since perestroika began, and made a promise. Nearly a year later, his drunken promise returns to haunt him. A reluctant Barley is quickly trained by British Intelligence and sent to Moscow to liaise with a go-between, the beautiful Katya. Both are lonely and disillusioned. Each is increasingly certain that if the human race is to have any future, all must betray their countries...

John le Carré: The Russia House. Penguin Classics, ISBN: 9780241337202 (March, 2020), 448 p., £14.99.

The Russia House

John le Carré: The Russia House (UK 2006)

From the Publisher:
It is the third summer of perestroika. Barley Blair, London publisher, receives a smuggled document from Moscow. It contains technical information of overwhelming importance. But is it genuine? Is the author genuine? A plant? A madman? Blair, jazz-loving, drink-marinated, dishevelled, is hardly to the taste of the spymasters, yet he has to be used - sent to the Soviet Union to make contact. Katya, the Moscow intermediary, is beautiful, thoughtful, equally sceptical of all state ideology. Together, as the safe cliches of hostility disintegrate, they may represent the future - an idea that is anathema to the entrenched espionage professionals on both sides. THE RUSSIA HOUSE: a spy story, a love story, and a fable for our time.

John le Carré: The Russia House. Sceptre, ISBN: 0340937661 (September, 2006), 464 p., £7.99.

John le Carré has earned worldwide acclaim with extraordinary spy novels, including The Russia House, an unequivocal classic. Navigatin readers through the shadow worlds of international espionage with critical knowledge culled from his years in British Intelligence, le Carré tracks the dark and devastating trail of a document that could profoundly alter the course of world events.

Along the way it has an explosive impact on the lives of three people: a Soviet physicist burdened with secrets; a beautiful young Russian woman to whom the papers are entrusted; and Barley Blair, a bewildered English publisher pressed into service by British Intelligence to ferret out the document's source. A magnificent story of love, betrayal, and courage, The Russia House catches history in the act. For as the Iron Curtain begins to rust and crumble, Blair is left to sound a battle cry that may fall on deaf ears.

The Russia House

John le Carré: The Russia House (USA 1990)

From the Publisher:
Now from master thriller writer John le Carré comes his most powerful and ambitious novel to date: a new tale of suspense -- and hope -- set in the dangerous world of spies and counterspies. In the third uncertain summer of perestroika and glasnost, at a small British trade fair in Moscow, a document changes hands that can alter the course of history -- if it is delivered to the right person.

THE RUSSIA HOUSE
The delicate chain of communication that bears this explosive message is made up of three very fragile, very human links: a Soviet physicist (code name Bluebird) burdened with a secret knowledge; a beautiful young Russian woman to whom the papers are entrusted; and Barley Blair, the besotted and bewildered English publisher to whom the papers are addressed. Suddenly Blair finds himself pressed into service by British Intelligence to ferret out the source of the message and what It might mean to the world. Once again, le Carré has caught history in the act as he draws us deeper into his secret world for a story of love, betrayal, and courage -- and a future there just may be time to save.

John le Carré: The Russia House. Bantam Books, ISBN: 0553285343 (December, 1990), 421 p., $5.95.
