The Secret Agent
1 journaler for this copy...
Conrad started this book in 1905, a time of anarchists and socialists, when the complacent world worshiped the destructiveness of science. The Secret Agent is very Dickensian, set in the dark, seedy pubs and overstuffed government offices of London. Full of philosophy and intrigue - The Secret Agent makes us examine our strongest political beliefs and the impact (or lack of impact) they have on our actions.
