The Secret Agent pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2025
'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.

評分讀不下去放棄瞭。。。
評分也就是康拉德瞭,能把公務員生活寫齣史詩的感覺來。Verloc某種程度上其實是另一個Lord Jim,一個被現代生活捲入但是成不瞭現代人的舊時代生物。
評分在沒想好站隊前,政治正確是一個謬論
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...
