About this product
Product Information
New spies with new loyalties, old spies with old ones; terror as the new mantra; decent people wanting to do good but caught in the moral maze; all the sound, rational reasons for doing the inhuman thing; the recognition that we cannot safely love or pity and remain good "patriots" -- this is the fabric of John le Carré's fiercely compelling and current novelA Most Wanted Man.A half-starved young Russian man in a long black overcoat is smuggled into Hamburg at dead of night. He has an improbable amount of cash secreted in a purse around his neck. He is a devout Muslim. Or is he? He says his name is Issa.Annabel, an idealistic young German civil rights lawyer, determines to save Issa from deportation. Soon her client's survival becomes more important to her than her own career -- or safety. In pursuit of Issa's mysterious past, she confronts the incongruous Tommy Brue, the sixty-year-old scion of Brue Frères, a failing British bank based in Hamburg.Annabel, Issa and Brue form an unlikely alliance -- and a triangle of impossible loves is born. Meanwhile, scenting a sure kill in the "War on Terror," the rival spies of Germany, England and America converge upon the innocents.Thrilling, compassionate, peopled with characters the reader never wants to let go,A Most Wanted Manis a work of deep humanity and uncommon relevance to our times.

Reviews
"This is le Carré's strongest, most powerful novel... Extraordinary."-- Alan Furst,New York Times Book Review(cover review), "An instant classic... A provocative and incendiary ending that only le Carré, the master, can pull off."--USA Today, "Astounding, nearly perfect ... beautifully paced, awesomely crafted ... desperately readable"-- John Freeman,San Francisco Chronicle, "A terrific overview of central debates in this new research field." Metapsychology Online Reviews "An enormously valuable volume. It is the first book-length treatment of experimental philosophy, and it does an excellent job of describing the state of the art and assessing the controversies that experimental philosophy has provoked." Stephen Stich, Rutgers University "The first of its kind; the only book that features a sustained argument for the general relevance of experimental philosophy to philosophical debates." Adam Feltz, Schreiner University "Experimental philosophy is only a decade old, but has already generated a lot of interesting discoveries, as well as a great deal of attention and criticism. The time is ripe for a systematic introduction to the field that summarizes these discoveries and addresses the criticisms. Joshua Alexander delivers the goods. His book provides interested students with an excellent overview of experimental philosophy, and it challenges philosophers to consider what intuitions are, what role they should play in philosophical theories, and how experimental methods can advance philosophical debates." Eddy Nahmias, Georgia State University "Experimental philosophy hosts the most exciting work in contemporary philosophy, and it attracts the most innovative philosophers. Joshua Alexander has written an outstanding introduction to this electrifying new philosophical approach. This book is a pleasure to read, a remarkable overview of the work done by experimental philosophers, and also a substantial contribution to the many philosophical issues raised by experimental philosophy. " Edouard Machery, University of Pittsburgh, "What le Carré has always done terrifically is to capture the nuances of the spying game. His spooks are wonderful... InA Most Wanted Manyou are, unlike the modern world, in thrillingly deft, safe hands."--The Guadian(UK), "Turn the pages slowly, because an era is passing, and with it, an illuminating view of the troubled keepers of an uneasy peace."-- James F. Sweeney,Cleveland Plain Dealer, "Breaks notable new ground... Le Carré's dialogue has snap, rhythm and wit... immaculate timing."-- Peter Wolfe,St. Louis Post-Dispatch, "Le Carré's ... secret agents exist in a world of stalemate, moral compromise, ambiguity and betrayal... Like his books, le Carré is a mix of unblinking realism and hopeful humanism."-- Jill Lawless,Associated Press, "As sharp as he ever was.... Le Carre ... remains a class above his neighbors on the bestseller list."-- Jeffrey Westhoff,Chicago Sun-Times, "Intricately plotted, beautifully written, propulsive, morally engaged, but timely as today's headlines.... The protagonists are brilliantly drawn."-- Tim Rutten,Los Angeles Times
