The Night Manager : a masterpiece of espionage worthy of James Bond
In the 1950s and 1960s, David John Moore Cornwell worked for MI5 and MI6 – two intelligence services considered the best in the whole country. It is thanks to this extraordinary professional experience that he finds the favorite subjects of his books. To publish them he takes a pseudonym that will be the one that the general public knows to this day: John Le Carré.
With his spy novels set in the context of the Cold War, the writer differs from the novels James Bond by more complex, tormented and less action-oriented characters. This style, much more realistic, appeals to its audience who will love it Call of the Dead, Mole, Like a College Kid, Smiley People or also The spy who came in from the cold.
Above all, the author’s works attract the attention of audiovisual productions. Therefore many of his novels have had film and television adaptations. Among them, we will keep The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, The Russian House, The Tailor of Panama, The Constant Gardener, The Mole, A Wanted Man, A Perfect Spy or also… The Night Manager. Airing between February 21, 2016 and March 27, 2016, the miniseries follows Jonathan Pine, a former British soldier turned night manager at a luxury hotel. One fine day he is contacted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to investigate Richard Roper, a dangerous arms dealer who turns out to be one of the guests of this hotel.
