Adolf Verloc is working as a spy in London, when he's recruited to
commit a terrorist act that could endanger the lives of countless
citizens. It's a professional decision that has an unexpected
impact on his personal life. Adolf Verloc lives in London and runs
a shop where he sells underground books and materials. He's
considered a member of a local anarchist group but is also a spy
for a foreign government. His handler, Mr. Vladimir, instructs him
to plant a bomb in the Greenwich Observatory. Verloc initially
resists but cowers to Mr. Vladimir's threats. Using a time jump and
different perspectives, the novel examines the impact of Verloc's
fateful actions. The Secret Agent is a standout among Joseph
Conrad's stellar bibliography. With its descriptive setting and
political themes, the author creates a truly captivating tale. It's
a thrilling account of espionage, betrayal and homegrown terrorism.
With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset
manuscript, this edition of The Secret Agent is both modern and
readable.
