Contents.Creation, basis and development While undertaking research for his best-selling novel, Follett had discovered the true story of the spy (also known as John W. Eppler or John Eppler) and his involvement in, a non-fiction account of which was published in 1959. This was to form the basis of Follett's The Key to Rebecca, Eppler being the inspiration behind the character Alex Wolff, and he spent a year writing it, more than the time he took to write his previous novels Eye of the Needle and Triple. This true story was also later to form the basis behind 's -winning 1992 novel and the 1996 -winning starring. 's novel is also laid against much of the same background.Many plot elements in the novel are based on actual historical details.The real-life Eppler, like Follett's fictional Alex Wolff, had grown up in Egypt after his mother had remarried to a wealthy Egyptian, and thus had a mixed German and Arab cultural heritage, greatly facilitating his ability to penetrate British-ruled Egypt. Like Follett's spy, Eppler was based at a houseboat on the river, got help from a nationalist-inclined in his espionage work, and used a system of based on 's book – which provided the title of Follett's book.

Rip slyme good job rar file. And Eppler did request assistance from the Cairo-based, who were at the time nominally pro-Axis in the belief that they would 'liberate' Egypt from the British, and specifically from the young.Sadat plays an important role in the plot, and the scene of his arrest by the British is largely derived from Sadat's own autobiography – though the British officer who actually arrested him was not Follett's protagonist, Major William Vandam, a completely fictional character. When seeing Sadat already beginning to think of making the most of his arrest and 'preparing to play martyr', Vandam thinks 'He is very adaptable, he should be a politician'; the reader, obviously, is well aware that Sadat is the future.However, Wolff is a far more formidable character than the actual Eppler, who 'deliberately sabotaged his own radio, because he wanted to enjoy himself and live with a Jewish prostitute'. In contrast, Follett's Wolff – though having a sensual and pleasure-loving side – is completely dedicated to his mission, driven by a curious mixture of German nationalism, Egyptian patriotism and an overwhelming personal ambition. Like the German spy Faber in Follett's earlier Eye of the Needle, he is supremely intelligent, competent and resourceful, and utterly ruthless – ever ready to kill anyone perceived as threatening him, and preferring to do it silently with a knife. However, towards the end of the book, Wolff displays an increasing sadistic streak absent from Follett's earlier spy.Among other things, Wolff is credited with having crossed the Sahara into Egypt by himself on camel, rather than being ferried there, as was the actual Eppler. To enable Wolff to carry out such an epic feat, Follett provides him with a background.
