For six decades, he wrote novels that came to define our age. The son of a confidence trickster, he spent his childhood between boarding school and the London underworld. At sixteen he found refuge at the University of Bern, then later at Oxford. A spell of teaching at Eton led him to a short career in British Intelligence (MI5 \u0026amp; 6). He published his debut novel, \u003ci\u003eCall for the Dead\u003c\/i\u003e, in 1961 while still a secret servant. His third novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Spy Who Came in from the Cold\u003c\/i\u003e, secured him a worldwide reputation, which was consolidated by the acclaim for his trilogy, \u003ci\u003eTinker Tailor Soldier Spy\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Honourable Schoolboy\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSmiley's People\u003c\/i\u003e.
