When a valued agent in East Berlin warns the British of a mole at the heart of the Service, Samson must return to the field and the city he loves to uncover the traitor's identity. This is the first novel in Len Deighton's acclaimed, Game, Set and Match trilogy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA BERNARD SAMSON NOVEL\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLen Deighton\u003c\/b\u003e was born in 1929 in London.  He did his national service in the RAF, went to the Royal College of Art and designed many book jackets, including the original UK edition of Jack Kerouac's \u003ci\u003eOn the Road\u003c\/i\u003e.  The enormous success of his first spy novel, \u003ci\u003eThe IPCRESS File \u003c\/i\u003e(1962), was repeated in a remarkable sequence of books over the following decades.  These varied from historical fiction (\u003ci\u003eBomber\u003c\/i\u003e, perhaps his greatest novel) to dystopian alternative fiction (\u003ci\u003eSS-GB\u003c\/i\u003e) and a number of brilliant non-fiction books on the Second World War (\u003ci\u003eFighter, Blitzkrieg \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eBlood, Tears and Folly\u003c\/i\u003e).  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis spy novels chart the twists and turns of Britain and the Cold War in ways which now give them a unique flavour.  They preserve a world in which Europe contains many dictatorships, in which the personal can be ruined by the ideological and where the horrors of the Second World War are buried under only a very thin layer of soil.  Deighton's fascination with technology, his sense of humour and his brilliant evocation of time and place make him one of the key British espionage writers, alongside John Buchan, Eric Ambler, Ian Fleming and John Le Carré.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWeitere Angaben\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eBuch (Paperback), B-format paperback, Englisch, 304 Seiten\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Weltbild.ch: Bücher \u0026 Outlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65805648101725,"sku":"K089065443","price":11.8,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/8915\/0045\/files\/8906544300001A.jpg?v=1788468631","url":"https:\/\/weltbild.ch\/products\/berlin-game-len-deighton","provider":"Weltbild.ch Bücher \u0026 Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
