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.

評分“這是一個發瞭瘋的世界,沒有人可以信任。每個人都帶著麵具,信仰、愛情,甚至人性都成瞭諷刺。”這是柏林孤諜腰封上的一句話。 作為一部諜戰小說,《柏林孤諜》寫實地描繪瞭戰後德國的眾生相。作者沉著冷靜地記述瞭一個業餘雙料間諜在執行任務中遇到的最悲痛的感受。戰爭造...
評分評判一本書的好壞,其實是一件很主觀的事情,能讓人身臨其境的,基本就算是好書瞭。 《柏林孤諜》就是這樣一本好書。墨綠色的封麵上,正中是一個鎖孔的形狀。通過鎖孔,我們可以看到柏林街景和一個男人行走的背影。仿佛這個鎖孔會帶我們穿越迴二戰剛剛結束的柏林,附身於...
