"The most peaceable people will do the most terrible things when they're pushed": First edition of The Constant Gardener; signed by John le Carre

First edition of the author's classic spy thriller, basis for the 2005 film starring Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz, the latter winning an Oscar for her performance. Octavo, original boards, silk ribbon bound in. Boldly signed by John le Carre on the title page. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Cover photograph by Christine Rodin. Author photograph by Simone Casetta.

The Constant Gardener is a profoundly moving story of a man ennobled by tragedy, and a magnificent exploration of the dark side of unbridled capitalism by one of the most compelling and elegant storytellers of our time. The plot was based on a real-life case in Kano, Nigeria and was later adapted into the film of the same name directed by Fernando Meirelles and starring Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz.
