The Secret Agent - Joseph Conrad - Bog

Bag om The Secret Agent

Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all timeEdited and with Notes by Peter Lancelot MalliosIntroduction by Robert D. KaplanIn reexamining The Secret Agent in a post-9/11 world, Robert D. Kaplan praises Joseph Conrad's "surgical insight into the mechanics of terrorism," calling the book "a fine example of how a savvy novelist may detect the future long before a social scientist does." This intense 1907 thriller-a precursor to works by Graham Greene and John le Carré-concerns a British double agent who infiltrates a cabal of anarchists.
