Set in late 19th-century London, The Secret Agent is a dark tale of political intrigue, betrayal, and moral ambiguity. Verloc, a shopkeeper and secret anarchist, lives a double life under the veneer of domestic stability with his wife, Winnie, her mother, and her brother Stevie. Pressured by the mysterious Mr. Vladimir, Verloc is forced to execute a terrorist plot targeting the Greenwich Observatory.
As events spiral out of control, Conrad delves into the complexities of human relationships, the ethics of radicalism, and the unintended consequences of violence. The novel offers a searing critique of society and remains a timeless exploration of the darker aspects of human nature.
First published in 1907 and reissued in the Penguin Popular Classics series in 1994, this edition brings Conrad's gripping narrative to a modern audience.
