The secret agent
In this intense espionage thriller set in the late nineteenth century and written in 1907, decades before Graham Greene and John le Carre, Joseph Conrad tells the "simple tale" of a double agent in an anarchist cell. But when Mr. Verloc keeper of a seedy London shop where he lives with his wife, his infirm mother-in-law, and his delicate brother-in-law, becomes involved in an attempt to bomb the Greenwich Observatory, the outcome is anything but simple.
