'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. 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.
John Lyon has previously edited Conrad's Youth/Heart of Darkness/The End of the Tether for Penguin Twentieth Century Classics, and novels by Henry James, Rudyard Kipling, and D. H. Lawrence.
也就是康拉德了,能把公务员生活写出史诗的感觉来。Verloc某种程度上其实是另一个Lord Jim,一个被现代生活卷入但是成不了现代人的旧时代生物。

评分跟翁达杰的in the skin of a lion很像啊。字面上讲的是关于无政府主义和terrorism的“一个简单的故事”,但里面的无政府主义者们基本没有任何威胁性,我读到的感觉是,人作为孤立的个体在资本主义体系中无比脆弱,只能用疯狂和绝望与之对抗,尽管荒唐无效但实则有力。
评分authur's intention前半段感觉藏得挺深,到后面爆的一发不可收拾,重点体现就在winnie上 - 可怕,过火。另外我要是没读错,作者应该是反futurism的吧?
评分1907. 为何如此泛滥的副词??/the propogandist vs the revolutionist/It is only when our appointed activities seem by a lucky accident to obey the particular earnestness of our temperament that we can taste the comfort of complete self-deception./"All idealisation makes life poorer. To beautify it is to take away its character of complexity." -死活想不起来还谁也说过类似的话。
It's ironic because it suppose to be serious but it's anything but serious. The absurdity and uselessness of the revolutionists, futility of political conspiracy. Conrad's works are not like Orwell, whose works are very clear-cut and readers can immediately...
