AN OFFICER AND A SPY
Book ID/图书代码： 06580013B64492
English Summary/英文概要： They lied to protect their country. He told the truth to save it. A gripping historical thriller from the bestselling author of FATHERLAND.
January 1895. On a freezing morning in the heart of Paris, an army officer, Georges Picquart, witnesses a convicted spy, Captain Alfred Dreyfus, being publicly humiliated in front of twenty thousand spectators baying ’Death to the Jew!’
The officer is rewarded with promotion: Picquart is made the French army’s youngest colonel and put in command of ’the Statistical Section’ - the shadowy intelligence unit that tracked down Dreyfus.
The spy, meanwhile, is given a punishment of medieval cruelty: Dreyfus is shipped off to a lifetime of solitary confinement on Devil’s Island - unable to speak to anyone, not even his guards, his case seems closed forever.
But gradually Picquart comes to believe there is something rotten at the heart of the Statistical Section. When he discovers another German spy operating on French soil, his superiors are oddly reluctant to pursue it. Despite official warnings, Picquart persists, and soon the officer and the spy are in the same predicament.
Narrated by Picquart, An Officer and a Spy is a compelling recreation of a scandal that became the most famous miscarriage of justice in history. Compelling, too, are the echoes for our modern world: an intelligence agency gone rogue, justice corrupted in the name of national security, a newspaper witch-hunt of a persecuted minority, and the age-old instinct of those in power to cover-up their crimes.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 他们用谎言来保护祖国。他用真话来拯救他。本书是畅销小说《祖国》作者的另一部精彩绝伦的历史惊悚小说。1895年，1月。这是一个极其寒冷的早晨，在巴黎的中心地带，军官乔治•皮夸特目睹了一名被判有罪的间谍阿尔弗雷德•徳雷休斯在2万名旁观者面前当众遭到羞辱，他们高呼着“杀死犹太人！”。这名军官因此获得提拔，皮夸特被任命为法国历史上最年轻的殖民军官，并被派去负责“统计部”--专用于追踪徳雷休斯踪迹的秘密情报部门。于此同时，间谍正被施以一种中世纪流传下来的酷刑：徳雷休斯被运到了恶魔岛上，并将终生囚禁于此---既不能和任何人交谈，甚至看不到他的守卫，看似这场案件就这样永远的终结了。很快皮夸特便发现在“统计部”的核心深处正面临着腐朽和败落，而当他发现在法国的领土上还存在着另外一名德国间谍时，他的上司却诡异的犹豫了。虽然明确警告不要干涉，皮夸特还是坚持查明真相，很快军官和间谍均陷入困境之中。本故事由皮夸特为第一叙述人为我们娓娓道来，是一场丑闻事件的历史重现，并因此成为了历史上最著名的正义破产事件。同样精彩的还有书中那些有关于当代社会的种种回音：一个逐渐腐化的情报机构，正义假借国家安全之名而腐朽，一份报纸对于极少数一群人实施的政治迫害，而权势阶级则直觉的想要掩盖各自所犯下的罪行。（DC）
