The Mission Song

De: John le Carré

Narrado por: David Oyelowo

Abandoned by his parents, Bruno Salvador has long looked for guidance. He found it in Mr. Anderson of British Intelligence. Working for Anderson in a clandestine facility, Salvo (as he's known) translates intercepted phone calls, bugged recordings, and snatched voice-mail messages. When Anderson sends him to a mysterious island to interpret during a secret conference, Bruno thinks he is helping Britain--but then he hears something he should not have.©2006 David Cornwell.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Amid the bursts of humor, le Carré convincingly conveys his empathy." (Publishers Weekly)
"His prose is as lovely and expressive as ever; his ear for dialogue remains wonderfully acute." (Washington Post)

Strong story presented by an outstanding narrator

Where does The Mission Song rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

David Oyelowo's magnificent performance brings this complex LeCarre book to life. This may be the single best performance I've heard in 10 years of Audible membership. Oyelowo should be narrating more Audible selections - he's brilliant.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

The Mission Song story line is much too complicated to listen to in one sitting. To properly understand the narrative it helps to have some background on Congo history and African geography, but it's worth the effort.

Best performance ever

I’ve listened to many audio books, some with terrible narrators and som good- this is beyond good- it’s excellent!

One of the best Le Carre stories in a long time

The cross and double crosses are abundant. The allies and enemies hard to spot. It is a story of a man's character and what he does to remain true to himself.

hard to follow

Interesting story and you learn a lot about Africa, but the storyline is often hard to follow

So Sad

I was very disappointed in the ending. This is the first time I didn't enjoy a John le Carre book.
