Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Set in 1886 London, the narrative follows Mr. Adolf Verloc, a spy entangled in themes of anarchism, espionage, and terrorism. The story explores the complexities of Verloc's life, particularly his exploitative relationship with his intellectually disabled brother-in-law, Stevie. This political novel marks a shift from Conrad's earlier maritime tales, reflecting a darker view of society reminiscent of Dickens' Bleak House. Dedicated to H. G. Wells, it delves into the moral ambiguities of its characters and the societal implications of their actions.
