Song for Zebra: Carre le

The books of John Le Carre have long occupied a place of honor in the lists of classics of a spy novel. A former employee of British intelligence in the past, he turns inside out the myth of omnipotent and ubiquitous special services. His heroes are living people at a difficult work, often demanding to choose between duty and conscience.
“Song for Zebra” is a personal Odyssey of Salvo, a young talented translator, half a Congolizer who owns a lot of African languages, a freelance employee of the Ministry of Defense. Having received a responsible secret task, he flies to the nameless Northern Island to translate at a conference, on which the fate of the Congo depends. Honor and decency force a quiet, naive salvo to challenge powerful opponents, having only one weapon with them – a love for a half -forgotten homeland and a beautiful black compatriot.
