Synopsis "amics absoluts (in Catalan)"

després de la guerra de l`iraq, l`anglès ted mundy, fill d`un soldat britànic de les antigues colònies i escriptor fracassat reconvertit en guia turístic a baviera, veu com retorna el seu passat en la figura de sasha, un anarquista dissident de l`alemanya de l`est que va conèixer a la universitat de berlín a finals dels anys seixanta. ara, però, després de l`11 de setembre, els temps han canviat. les complicades xarxes de terrorisme internacional i la cínica política de lluita antiterrorista global impulsada pels estats units fan trontollar la seva profunda i sincera amistat basada en la defensa de l`idealisme i la lleialtat. i és que sembla que en aquest món actual no hi ha lloc per a les causes justes. més compromesa que cap altra de les seves obres anteriors i d`una actualitat brutal, john le carré, el mestre de la narrativa d`espionatge, torna amb una novel·la contra la política de george w. bush i els seus aliats.

John le Carré, pseudonym of David John Moore Cornwell (1931–2020), was a British novelist known for redefining espionage literature. Before fully dedicating himself to writing, he worked for the British intelligence services MI5 and MI6 during the Cold War, an experience that deeply influenced his works. His narrative is characterized by a realistic and morally complex view of espionage, moving away from the genre's stereotypes. He declined official awards and honors, though he was awarded the Goethe Medal in 2011

Among his most notable novels are The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (1963), Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (1974), The Little Drummer Girl (1983), The Constant Gardener (2001), and The Tailor of Panama (1996). Many of these works have been adapted into film and television, solidifying his legacy in popular culture. His most iconic character, agent George Smiley, features in several of his novels and symbolizes moral complexity in the world of espionage.
