Автор:John le Carre Год: 2007 Издание:Sceptre Страниц: 384 ISBN: 9780340921999 Hailed everywhere as a masterpiece of suspense, John le Carre's return to Africa is the story of Bruno Salvador (aka Salvo), the 25-year-old orphaned love child of an Irish missionary and a Congolese woman. Quickly rising to the top of his profession as an interpreter, Salvo is dispatched by British Intelligence to a top-secret meeting between Western financiers and East Congolese warlords, where he hears things not intended for his ears - and is forced to interpret matters never intended for his reawoken African conscience. By turns thriller, love story, and comic allegory of our times, "The Mission Song" recounts Salvo's heroically naive journey out of the dark of Western hypocrisy and into the heart of lightness.
