Description
Joseph Conrad's dark satire on English society, The Secret Agent, presents a profoundly ironic view of human affairs. Set in London during the Edwardian period, the novel revolves around an attack on the Greenwich Observatory masterminded by Verloc, a Russian spy working for the police and ostensibly a member of an anarchist group in Soho. Verloc's evil plan goes horribly awry, leading to repercussions that he must deal with. This edition includes a chronology, further reading, notes, and maps of London and Greenwich, providing additional context to Conrad's portrayal of life in Edwardian England. Published by Penguin Classics, this novel represents a significant work in the English-speaking world, offering an authoritative text enhanced by an introduction and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors.
