Synopsis "El Sastre de Panamá (in Spanish)"

Una sátira sobrecogedora y absorbente del mundo del espionaje.

Harry Pendel, prestigioso sastre inglés al que acuden los hombres más poderosos de Panamá, trabaja como informante para el servicio de inteligencia británico.

Faltan dos años para que el país recupere el control de su valioso canal y la droga, el dinero blanqueado y la corrupción campan a sus anchas. Y Pendel accede a los planes de sus clientes y escucha sus confidencias. Por su establecimiento desfilan, desde el presidente panameño hasta un general norteamericano, pasando por políticos, ladrones y toda clase de estafadores.

John le Carré, pseudonym of David John Moore Cornwell (1931–2020), was a British novelist known for redefining espionage literature. Before fully dedicating himself to writing, he worked for the British intelligence services MI5 and MI6 during the Cold War, an experience that deeply influenced his works. His narrative is characterized by a realistic and morally complex view of espionage, moving away from the genre's stereotypes. He declined official awards and honors, though he was awarded the Goethe Medal in 2011

Among his most notable novels are The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (1963), Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (1974), The Little Drummer Girl (1983), The Constant Gardener (2001), and The Tailor of Panama (1996). Many of these works have been adapted into film and television, solidifying his legacy in popular culture. His most iconic character, agent George Smiley, features in several of his novels and symbolizes moral complexity in the world of espionage.
