Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set in London during 1886, the narrative follows Mr. Adolf Verloc, a spy entangled in a web of anarchism, espionage, and terrorism. As one of Joseph Conrad's later political works, it explores the darker aspects of society, particularly through Verloc's exploitative relationship with his brother-in-law Stevie, who has a learning difficulty. The novel marks a departure from Conrad's earlier maritime tales, delving into the complexities of political intrigue and moral ambiguity.
