ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

In John le Carré's Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, George Smiley, a retired intelligence officer, is brought back to uncover a mole within the British Secret Intelligence Service, known as "The Circus". The story follows Smiley's meticulous investigation as he pieces together fragmented clues, interviews former colleagues, and revisits past events to identify the traitor. The novel explores themes of betrayal, loyalty, and the corrosive effects of deception. It delves into the psychological toll of espionage, focusing on the human cost and the complex motivations of those involved in the secret world of spies. The plot revolves around the search for a long-term penetration agent, code-named "Gerald", who has been feeding information to the Soviet Union, all the while undermining the Circus.
