John le Carré, the pseudonym of David John Moore Cornwell (born 19 October 1931 in Poole, Dorset, England), is an English author of espionage novels. Le Carré has resided in St Buryan, Cornwall, Great Britain, for more than 40 years, where he owns a mile of cliff close to Land's End.
Now a major motion picture from Fernando Meirelles, the Academy Award-nominated director of City of God
The Constant Gardener is a magnificent exploration of the new world order by one of the most compelling and elegant storytellers of our time. The novel opens in northern Kenya with the gruesome murder of Tessa Quayle--young, beautiful, and dearly beloved to husband Justin. When Justin sets out on a personal odyssey to uncover the mystery of her death, what he finds could make him not only a suspect among his own colleagues, but a target for Tessa's killers as well.
A master chronicler of the betrayals of ordinary people caught in political conflict, John le Carre portrays the dark side of unbridled capitalism as only he can. In The Constant Gardener he tells a compelling, complex story of a man elevated through tragedy as Justin Quayle--amateur gardener, aging widower, and ineffectual bureaucrat--discovers his own natural resources, and the extraordinary courage of the woman he barely had time to love.

評分勒卡雷是我的偶像,然而這本中文翻譯小說,卻給勒卡雷抹瞭黑。通篇鬍言亂語不著邊際故弄玄虛,實在不相信這是勒卡雷的原文原義!
評分如題,邊看邊記,隨時更新,書評最後寫。 1、肯尼亞有一種昆蟲,連具有豁免權的外交官都難逃其掌。 Or perhaps he had been squirting mosquito spray at some Kenyan insect from which even diplomats are not immune.(一語雙關) 2、Woodrow(以下用W)告訴Justin (以...

正在聽,還挺有意思,怪不得齣版就被拍成電影瞭。電影永遠沒時間看完,聽聽書好瞭。
評分在book club結束N周後終於讀完瞭...慚愧
評分聖誕節如果被工作所纍齣不瞭遠門就打算把這個看一看。師妹淘學校跳蚤市場入瞭一本送給我。非小說類讀物(論文除外)一概不看。

評分真的是沒有高潮的結尾額......
