Description

The Secret Agent: A Simple Tale (Oxford World's Classics) In this gripping tale, a seemingly ordinary life is revealed to be anything but. Mr Verloc, a shopkeeper in London's Soho, becomes embroiled in an anarchist plot that sets off a chain of events involving politicians, policemen, and foreign diplomats. As the story unfolds, Conrad masterfully exposes the darker side of London's fashionable society, revealing a world of idiocy, madness, criminality, and butchery. This new edition includes expert introductions, notes to clarify the text, and a comprehensive bibliography for further study. For over 100 years, Oxford World's Classics has made available a broad spectrum of literature from around the globe, providing accurate texts with valuable features such as expert introductions and up-to-date bibliographies.
