Synopsis
From the seed of an actual attempt to blow up the Greenwich Observatory, this book recreates the world of the secret agent. The world of law and order is mirrored in its underworld, a squalid terrorist landscape inhabited by, among others, the professor, who carries a bomb in his pocket.

The Secret Agent
Seller: Book Haven, Wellington, WLG, New Zealand
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardback. Condition: Fine. An impenetrable mystery seems destined to hang for ever over this act of madness or despair. Mr Verloc, the secret agent, keeps a shop in London's Soho where he lives with his wife Winnie, her infirm mother, and her idiot brother, Stevie. When Verloc is reluctantly involved in an anarchist plot to blow up the Greenwich Observatory things go disastrously wrong, and what appears to be a simple tale proves to involve politicians, policemen, foreign diplomats and London's fashionable society in the darkest and most surprising interrelations. This new edition includes a critical introduction which describes Conrad's great London novel as the realization of a monstrous town, a place of idiocy, madness, criminality and butchery.
