The Secret Agent - Joseph Conrad
Penguin, 1974
Paperback, 249 pages
Great nick!
A chilling tale of political intrigue and moral decay, Joseph Conrad's The Secret Agent plunges you into the dark underbelly of London at the turn of the 20th century.
Verloc, a seemingly respectable shop owner, leads a double life as a secret agent for a foreign embassy. Tasked with planting a bomb at the Greenwich Observatory, his botched attempt sets in motion a tragic chain of events, exposing a world of anarchists, spies, and the devastating consequences of misguided idealism.
This classic explores themes of terrorism, social injustice, and the corrosive nature of power, leaving a lasting impression long after the final page.
A gripping read for fans of suspense and psychological thrillers.
