pickDreamscape has been releasing new audio versions of le Carre‘s work narrated by Simon Vance and they are wonderful. I‘m a huge fan of both le Carre and Simon Vance, so this was a comfort reread/listen for me. TSWCIFTC is the quintessential Cold War spy novel and it‘s the book that cemented le Carre as the master of the genre.
DGRachel I also recommend the 1965 film version with Richard Burton. Burton makes a perfect Alec Leamas. (Rupert Davies isn‘t my favorite onscreen Smiley, but Smiley has a tiny roll in the book. Alec Guinness, on the other hand, makes a brilliant George Smiley). 24h
