Secret Agent

Mr Verloc, the secret agent, is involved in an anarchist plot to blow up the Greenwich Observatory which goes disastrously wrong. Based on the text which Conrad's first English readers enjoyed, 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.

Domnul Verloc, agentul secret, este implicat intr-un complot anarhist de a arunca in aer Observatorul Greenwich, care merge dezastruos de rau. Pe baza textului de care s-au bucurat primii cititori englezi ai lui Conrad, aceasta noua editie include o introducere critica care descrie marele roman londonez al lui Conrad ca fiind realizarea unui ,,oras monstruos", un loc de idiotie, nebunie, criminalitate si macelarie.
