From the bestselling author of Istanbul Passage—called a “fast-moving thinking man’s thriller” by The Wall Street Journal—comes a sweeping, atmospheric novel of postwar East Berlin, a city caught between political idealism and the harsh realities of Soviet occupation.

Berlin 1948. Almost four years after the war’s end, the city is still in ruins, a physical wasteland and a political symbol about to rupture. In the West, a defiant, blockaded city is barely surviving on airlifted supplies; in the East, the heady early days of political reconstruction are being undermined by the murky compromises of the Cold War. Espionage, like the black market, is a fact of life. Even culture has become a battleground, with German intellectuals being lured back from exile to add credibility to the competing sectors.

Alex Meier, a young Jewish writer, fled the Nazis for America before the war. But the politics of his youth have now put him in the crosshairs of the McCarthy witch-hunts. Faced with deportation and the loss of his family, he makes a desperate bargain with the fledgling CIA: he will earn his way back to America by acting as their agent in his native Berlin. But almost from the start things go fatally wrong. A kidnapping misfires, an East German agent is killed, and Alex finds himself a wanted man. Worse, he discovers his real assignment—to spy on the woman he left behind, the only woman he has ever loved. Changing sides in Berlin is as easy as crossing a sector border. But where do we draw the lines of our moral boundaries? Betrayal? Survival? Murder?

Filled with intrigue, and the moral ambiguity of conflicted loyalties, Joseph Kanon’s new novel is a compelling thriller and a love story that brings a shadowy period of history vividly to life.

读后感

1949年1月。柏林苏占区。 “他是德国士兵。他现在是在偿还他欠下的债。” “还要偿多久？战争已经过去这么多年了，而我们还一直在偿还那时欠下的债。还有你们这些新的国王和主人。” 《柏林孤谍》讲述的故事发生在1949年。背景是一段我们不太熟悉的历史。1945年德国战败后，...  

谍战题材精彩的部分就是每一次“化险为夷“的细节处理，影视多表现在演员的神态变化，台词在其次。而用文字描绘，没有直接的画面感，采取对话形式是最佳选择。《柏林孤谍》，可以说是一本30万字几乎全对话的小说。 主人公亚力克斯第一次与上级交头就发生了枪击事件，把读者的...  

如果命运将你推入孤独绝境，你是否还有孤注一掷的勇气，反戈一击？ 作者开篇就为我们提出这样一个命题。又在整本书里用亚力克斯的故事来寻找答案。犹太作家亚力克斯身处二战之后的美国，却依然难以走出战争的阴影，他找不到自己的容身之处，为了与儿子安静生活这...
