Amigos Absolutos
Los amigos que dan título a la novela son Ted Mundy, hijo de un militar británico, nacido en 1947 en Pakistán -el mismo día en que el país declaró su independencia-, y Sasha, hijo de un pastor luterano de la República Democrática Alemana refugiado en la República Federal.
Los dos se conocen siendo estudiantes en Berlín Occidental, una ciudad sacudida por las algaradas y las manifestaciones; se reencuentran una década después en el turbio ambiente de la guerra fría y el espionaje, y vuelven a coincidir una vez más -su experiencia más atroz hasta la fecha- en el mundo unipolar del terror, el contraterror y la guerra de las mentiras.

David John Moore Cornwell (19 October 1931 – 12 December 2020), better known by his pen name John le Carré was a British Irish author, best known for his espionage novels, many of which were successfully adapted for film or television. A "sophisticated, morally ambiguous writer",he 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, due to his strong disapproval of Brexit, he took out Irish citizenship, which was possible due to his having an Irish grandparent. Le Carré's third novel, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (1963), became an international best-seller, was adapted as an award-winning film, and remains one of his best-known works. This success allowed him to leave MI6 to become a full-time author.[4] His novels which have been adapted for film or television include The Looking Glass War (1965), Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (1974, 2011), Smiley's People (1979), The Little Drummer Girl (1983), The Night Manager (1993), The Tailor of Panama (1996), The Constant Gardener (2001), A Most Wanted Man (2008) and Our Kind of Traitor (2010). Philip Roth said that A Perfect Spy (1986) was "the best English novel since the war".
