First edition of the author's first book, which introduced the world to the recurring protagonist, George Smiley. Octavo, original red cloth. Signed by the author on the title page in a contemporary hand, "John le Carre David Cornwell." Fine in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket. Housed in a custom clamshell box. An exceptional example, most rare and desirable using his real name and his pen name. Call for The Dead introduces George Smiley, probably the greatest figure in all of spy fiction. The New York Times praised the novel as "[a] subtle and acute story of counter-espionage marked by restraint, indirection, and intelligence." The book was adapted into a film entitled The Deadly Affair directed by Sidney Lumet starring James Mason as Smiley. The film received five BAFTA Awards nominations, including Best British Film and Best British Actor.

Buch Erstausgabe
A first edition, first printing published by Gollancz in 1961. A near fine book without inscriptions. NO inscriptions, marks or stamps. Minor spot to prelims which has penetrated the pages. SIGNED bookplate to front endpaper. Light fading to the spine. In a dust wrapper which has benefitted from restoration to the spine lettering, rear panel and edges of the front panel. Price clipped. Exceptionally rare first novel by Le Carre. A classic espionage novel that introduces readers to the iconic character George Smiley. The story follows Smiley, a retired intelligence officer, as he investigates the apparent suicide of a British civil servant. As he delves into the mystery, Smiley uncovers a complex web of deceit and political intrigue. The novel, le Carré's debut, skilfully combines elements of a detective story with the tense atmosphere of Cold War espionage.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing. Three separate volumes. Each book is SIGNED to title-page in the author's black, fountain pen ink. These three signed first editions are from the increasingly popular "Penguin John Le Carré Hardback Collection" and remain exceptionally rare to encounter as signed 1sts in this attractively elegant edition. As such, we feel they are likely to endure and prove especially collectable. Sadly, Le Carré passed away in December 2020, aged 89. Each of the three volumes has been meticulously hand-picked by us to ensure they will continue to grow and thrive in rarity value over the coming years. Very Fine copies in their dust-wrappers. A truly superb "trilogy" of sorts, and nicely reflecting the great man's works. Also included here is the promotional reading guide booklet, a worthwhile item of ephemera, issued ahead of the October 2021 publication for Le Carré s final novel, "Silverview", and including Mick Herron's charming piece entitled "Rereading John Le Carré." Offered by D B WATERS RARE BOOKS: Professional, full-time booksellers of fine, select 1st editions, established in 1998. As befits a rare book, all dust-wrappers are housed within transparent, removable protectors. All our stock is fully guaranteed as authentic, a sample of which is presented here on this website. As long-established specialist sellers, we never stock any first edition that is devalued by serious flaws such as price-clipping, dedications, remainder dots, or owner markings, etc. A small, boutique business with an enviable client base. Managed by David, a holder of a Masters degree in Modern Fiction from the UEA, and published author by Nightjar Press.
