Sir Andrew (Australia) (2009/10/09):
Amazon.com Book Description:
In The Secret Agent (1907) a triangle of conspiracy is built, then destroyed, by the self-interest of its participants. Mr. Verloc, employed by a foreign embassy to incriminate an anarchist group, instead destroys (spoilers removed) in a terrorist act gone utterly wrong. Conrad's ironic and troubling novel exposes political extremism and the strength-and vanity-of illusion.
Sarah-Rhiannon (United Kingdom) (2010/09/07):
