SYNOPSIS: The Secret Agent is an astonishing book," said Ford Madox Ford. "It is one of the best--and certainly the most significant-- detective stories ever written." Set in late-nineteenth-century London, Joseph Conrad's intense political thriller anticipates the espionage novels of such writers as Graham Greene and John le Carré. It concerns a double agent who is charged with provoking the radical group he has infiltrated into an act of sabotage that will bring about its own destruction. In a marvelously drawn underworld of political and criminal intrigue, Conrad brilliantly explores the confused motives that lie at the heart of terrorism. Extraor-dinarily modern in the ironic view it takes of human affairs, this masterly tale of conspiracy builds to a climax that the critic F. R. Leavis called "one of the most astonishing triumphs of genius in fiction." "The Secret Agent is an altogether thrilling 'crime story' . . . a political novel of a foreign embassy intrigue and its tragic human out-come," said Thomas Mann. And F. R. Leavis deemed it "one of Conrad's supreme masterpieces . . . one of the unquestioned classics of the first order that he added to the English novel.".…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. The Secret Agent (1998 Modern Library Edition) ? Joseph Conrad Sold by Crappy Old Books Terrorism, anarchists, and espionage ? all swirling around London in the late 19th century. Joseph Conrad?s The Secret Agent (first published in 1907, but reprinted here in this Modern Library 1998 edition) tells the darkly ironic tale of Adolf Verloc, a weary double agent whose shady dealings drag his family into a world of political violence and moral decay. It?s part spy thriller, part black comedy, and part bleak social commentary ? Conrad at his most cynical and prescient. This particular copy? It?s the 1998 Modern Library paperback ? which means you get the sharp Conrad prose without the antique book smell (sorry), and none of the pages are missing (we checked? mostly). The cover has probably seen better days, but hey ? it?s not The Secret Agent unless it looks like it?s been handled by one. Perfect for readers who like their espionage tales grim, satirical, and uncomfortably relevant. Or for anyone building a shelf of ?classics I might read someday.? Condition like new. THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING. IF YOU WANT A PRISTINE BOOK, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BOOK IN BETTER CONDITION SOMEWHERE ELSE.…
