The Secret Agent

Joseph Conrad

Серия: Classics

A story of espionage and counter-espionage, and anarchists and embassies. The Secret Agent is Conrad`s funniest novel. Its savagely witty picture of human absurdity and misunderstanding is written in an ironic style that provokes laughter and unease at the same time, and that continues to provide one of the most disturbing visions of aspiration and futility in twentieth century literature. With an Introduction and Notes by Hugh Epstein, Secretary of the Joseph Conrad Society of Great Britain.
