KLOP: BRITAIN’ S MOST INGENIOUS SPY
Book ID/图书代码： 12100014B75846
English Summary/英文概要： Klop Ustinov was Britain’s most ingenious secret agent, but he wasn’t authorised to kill. Instead, he was authorised to tell tall tales, bemusing and beguiling his enemies into revealing their deepest, darkest secrets. From the Russian Revolution to the Cold War, he bluffed and tricked his way into the confidence of everyone from Soviet commissars to Gestapo Gruppenführer. In Klop: Britain’s Most Ingenious Secret Agent, journalist Peter Day brings to life a man descended from Russian aristocrats and Ethiopian princesses but who fancied himself the perfect Englishman. His codename was U35 but his better-known nickname ’Klop’ meant ’bedbug’, a name given to him by a very understanding wife on account of his extraordinary capacity to hop from one woman’s bed to another in the service of the King. Frequenting the social gatherings of Europe in the guise of innocent bon viveur, he displayed a showman’s talent for entertaining (a trait his son, the actor Peter Ustinov, undoubtedly inherited), holding a captive audience and all the while scavenging secrets from his unsuspecting companions. Klop was masterful at gathering truth by telling a story; this is his.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： Klop Ustinov是英国最巧妙的特工,但他并没有被权威所杀。相反,他被授权告知荒诞的故事,使困惑而又迷人的敌人暴露其最深,最黑暗的秘密。从俄国革命冷战，他用上当和欺诈的方式来赢得每一个人从苏联政委向盖世太保Gruppenführer的信心。在此书中，记者Peter Day救活了一个俄罗斯贵族和埃塞俄比亚公主后裔的男子，一个自诩为完美的英国人的男人。他的代号是U35，但他更著名的绰号“Klop’意味着’臭虫’，由他善解人意的妻子考虑到自己丈夫有着非凡的能力从一个女人的床上一跃为另一个国王服务。常去欧洲的社交聚会的bon viveur的幌子，他在自身上展现了一个艺人的才能（一特质奇他的儿子，演员 Peter Ustinov，毫无疑问继承了他这一点），拿着俘虏观众和所有清除从他不知情的同伴秘密的同时，。 Klop对于通过讲故事来收集事实的本领很拿手；那是他的故事。（LNL）
