Le Carré (John) Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, 1f. [pp.9/10] from the novel, annotated by the author, "John le Carré burnt the first version of this novel. This was the beginning of the new beginning.../John Le Carré", under chapter heading, 8vo, [1974].⁂ An intriguing piece of publication history, noted from the author himself. In a later 2011 Penguin re-issue of the work, the author recalls in an introduction the difficulty he had in writing the first version of the novel. For a long time, he tried to make the story of a quest to ferret out a double agent in the British secret service succeed without flashbacks. But after months of frustration, Le Carré took the manuscript into his garden and burned it. He returned to work with a new version published in 1974 - now regarded as one of the greatest spy novels of the 20th century, explores the past in a more complex "inside-out logic of the double-agent operation".
