A ferociously cool Cold War thriller from the author of The Ipcress File.

Len Deighton’s third novel has become a classic, as compelling and suspenseful now as when it first exploded on to the bestseller lists.

In Berlin, where neither side of the wall is safe, Colonel Stok of Red Army Security is prepared to sell an important Russian scientist to the West – for a price. British intelligence are willing to pay, providing their own top secret agent is in Berlin to act as go-between. But it soon becomes apparent that behind the facade of an elaborate mock funeral lies a game of deadly manoeuvres and ruthless tactics. A game in which the blood-stained legacy of Nazi Germany is enmeshed in the intricate moves of cold war espionage…

Having read all his newer novels, this takes us back to when he was still teasing his craft.

It definitely would have encouraged me to read more of his novels had I Read it at the time, but now, although the storyline and researched facts are excellent - the writing leaves enough to be desired to take away a star!

Still love reading Len Deighton!

This is a pretty good book, a very enjoyable old-style cold war story. I had discovered Leighton with the Samson trilogy, which I loved; this, despite being earlier work by the author, has already all the ingredients which made that series great reading.

Hard to explain the tremendous pleasure I get reading a great master of the spy story when there is so much drivel around. This is one of Deighton's earliest, but all of his mastery is easily observed. Don't expect glamorous 'James Bond' type spy adventure here. Deighton is all about the dirty end of the stick - the field guys. Sharp as tacks, and with a mean streak. And struggling to get their expense accounts approved by their bosses.

If you like this, be sure to check out his stuff featuring Bernard Samson - they are masterpieces.

5つ星のうち5.0 The Cynical Spy

"Stok waited while the grey-haired one closed the door behind her. Then he said, 'Let's stop quarrelling, shall we?'
'You mean personally?' I said. 'Or are you speaking on behalf of the Soviet Union?'"

When Len Deighton's Cold War spy stories appeared in the first half of the 1960s they were welcomed as painting a more realistic picture of the world of espionage than did the fantasy world of James Bond. Whether it is actually a true picture or not, Deighton certainly makes you FEEL as if you are getting a glimpse of the real spy world.

In my view, Deighton's first four spy novels are by far his best. These are: "The Ipcress File"; "Horse Under Water"; "Funeral in Berlin"; and "Billion Dollar Brain". I feel that after this period Deighton went downhill, losing the lightness of touch and sharpness that characterise these four books.

Three of these four were also transferred to the big screen: "The Ipcress File" and "Funeral in Berlin" are quite good films; the film version of "Billion Dollar Brain" is best forgotten.

It has been rightly pointed out that the nameless narrator (who becomes Michael Caine's "Harry Palmer" in the films) is reminiscent of Raymond Chandler's private detective, Philip Marlowe, but transferred from the world of crime to the world of espionage. The two characters certainly both have the same mixture of wise-cracking humour, cynicism, sharpness of mind, and integrity. (Though with Deighton's character there is less emphasis on the last of these - his job involves more deviousness than Marlowe's.)

The other "realistic" spy story writer who came along at about the same time as Deighton was John Le Carre. But I've always preferred Deighton (at least the early Deighton), as I find Le Carre's books rather humourless and bleak. (Though the TV version of "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" with Alec Guinness is brilliant.)

Although Deighton's leading character (like Deighton himself, presumably) is on the side of the West, "Funeral in Berlin" is cynical about both sides in the Cold War. On the one hand, the Russian Colonel Stok makes telling criticisms of Western capitalism. But on the other, there are sideswipes against "communism", too, as when a character comes out with the joke: "Capitalism is the exploitation of man by man. Yes? Well socialism is exactly the reverse."

If you substitute the word "Stalinism" for "socialism" in that joke, I would certainly agree that BOTH systems are based on exploitation. The so-called "communist" states of Russia, China, Eastern Europe etc were/are actually forms of bureaucratic state capitalism, not socialism. Genuine socialism would be democratic, and it would not build a Berlin Wall to stop people escaping! As someone once said, "The Free World is not really free, and the Communist World is not really communist."

"Funeral in Berlin" is excellent entertainment, but we also need to remember that the real world of secret services is a nasty one. They do not just spy on each other. They spy on (and often persecute) dissenting voices within their own countries, and they conduct dirty tricks such as the toppling of elected governments (as the CIA did in Chile). There are no heroes or "good guys" in the real secret world: just villains on both sides.

5つ星のうち5.0 Feinsinnig und stilistisch brilliant

Das Vorwort des Buchs hat mich zunächst schockiert - es schien mir sehr unbeholfen zu sein. Zudem fand ich den historischen Rahmen (Berlin zur Zeit des kalten Krieges) ziemlich uninteressant. Aber weit gefehlt: Das Buch gehört zu den besten Spionageromanen, die ich gelesen habe und kann sich auf jeden Fall mit den früheren Meisterwerken von John le Carré messen.
Wahrscheinlich ist es Geschmackssache, aber ich finde den Stil des Autors einfach atemberaubend gut. Er schafft es, mit Kleinigkeiten eine immens dichte Atmosphäre zu schaffen. Schön, dass Deighton ein Vielschreiber ist. Ich werde mir noch viel von ihm gönnen.
