Best Answer

The question is a fair one, because 'The Spy' is a complex character, but he is, in fact, the creation of David John Moore Cornwell, better known as the writer John le Carre, whose work of fiction, 'The Spy who Came in From the Cold' was first published in 1963. He was born in 1931 in Poole, Dorset, and was educated at Sherborne School, at the University of Berne (where he studied German literature for a year) and at Lincoln College, Oxford, where he graduated with a first-class honours degree in modern languages. He taught at Eton from 1956 to 1958 and was a member of the British Foreign Service from 1959 to 1964, serving first as Second Secretary in the British Embassy in Bonn and subsequently as Political Consul in Hamburg. He started writing novels in 1961. But it was his third novel, 'The Spy who Came in From the Cold' that put him on the literary map.
