«La casa Rusia» is the spy novel by John Le Carré, published by Círculo de Lectores in 1990 (hardback, 412 pages, in Spanish).
During perestroika, a manuscript with Soviet military secrets leaves Moscow and falls into the hands of English publisher Barley Blair, whom British intelligence recruits. The investigation involves a Soviet physicist and the young Russian woman who guarded the papers; amid interrogations and escapes, love and crossed loyalties emerge.
The Spanish edition, translated by Adolfo Martín, corresponds to the original work The Russia House.
For readers of espionage and political thrillers, and for those seeking a Cold War story with historical background and personal dilemmas.
David John Moore Cornwell, known by his pen name John le Carré, was an English author. Many of his espionage novels have been adapted for film or television. He has been described as a "sophisticated, morally ambiguous writer", and is considered one of the greatest novelists of the postwar era. During the 1950s and 1960s, he worked for both the Security Service (MI5) and the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6). Near the end of his life, le Carré became an Irish citizen.
