Tajny agent
Provokatören : en sannfärdig berättelse
El agente secreto
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 Carre. 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. Extraordinarily 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."

One day Verloc is told to plant a bomb - but the plan goes terribly wrong... Does Verloc really love Winnie, or is she just part of his cover? Can Winnie ever forgive him? Who is Verloc really working for?"--P. [4] of cover.

The secret agent : a simple tale
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'They swarmed numerous like locusts, industrious like ants, thoughtless like a natural force, pushing on blind and orderly and absorbed, impervious to sentiment, to logic ' to terror, too, perhaps.' Considered one of Conrad's most political works, The Secret Agent is set against the dismal backdrop of a drab and alienating London, and tells the story of the bombing of Greenwich Observatory by a group of anarchists. Shopkeeper, spy and reluctant anarchist Mr Verloc becomes embroiled in this terrorist plot, exploiting his mentally disabled brother-in-law Stevie in the process, leading to tragic circumstances.
Anarkistit
Secret terror cells, political conspiracy, police bungling, state-sponsored bomb plots. This is London, 1896. Inspired by Joseph Conrad's classic novel, The Secret Agent is Theatre O's heartbreaking and hilarious chronicle of passion, betrayal and terrorism. Set at a time of social upheaval and growing disparity between rich and poor, at the heart of this tale is a woman fighting to protect her young brother from exploitation and violence. In their trademark highly imaginative style, described by The New York Times as, "vivid, enlightening, inventive and compelling", music hall and early cinema collide in theatre O's return to the stage after five years away.

Der Geheimagent : eine einfache Geschichte : Roman
Een armoedige Londense winkelier spioneert bij een anarchistische groep en verkoopt zijn inlichtingen aan het buitenland.
Verloc is the proprietor of rundown shop in Soho and a double agent, hired as a spy by a foreign embassy while working as an informer to Scotland Yard. His shop is the meetingplace for political fantatics and revolutionaries, including an American terrorist known as 'the Professor' and a Russian agent provocateur. The embassay involves Verloc in an attempted bombing of the famed Greenwich Observatory that goes tragically wrong for both Verloc and his brother-in-law. This novel reveals the dark vein of irony that runs through all of Conrad's major works. The Alfred Hitchcock film, The Sabotage (1936), was based on it.
El agente secreto : una historia simple
Anarkistit : yksinkertainen tarina
Mr Verloc is an anarchist and wants to see a revolution in Britain. But he is a lazy man and just wants to look after his shop. Then Mr Vladimir orders him to bomb the Greenwich Observatory in London. Mr Verloc does not want to bomb this building. Will he do the job, and what will happen when it all goes wrong?
The Secret Agent is set in the seedy world of Adolf Verloc, a storekeeper and double agent in late-Victorian London who pretends to sympathize with a group of international anarchists but reports on their activities to both the Russian embassy and the British government. As he is drawn further into a terrorist bombing plot, his family also becomes involved, with devastating consequences. Based on a real-life failed anarchist plot, The Secret Agent is both intimately engaged with its historical moment and profoundly relevant today.

Romans à clef
Tropische Wildnis, unendliche See, das sind die Szenerien, mit denen sich Joseph Conrads Name verbindet. In diesem Roman, seinem nach eigenem Urteil besten, tritt eine andere, nicht weniger unerbittliche Erfahrungswelt in den Blickpunkt: der Moloch Großstadt. Ein historischer Vorfall bildet den Angelpunkt für Conrads fesselnden Kriminalroman, der den Leser mitten hineinführt ins finstere Herz der Zivilisation.
Set in 19th Century England The Secret Agent is an intriguing story of espionage, counter-espionage and corruption on both sides of the law. When Adolf Verloc, international spy for the Russian Embassy, is assigned the task of blowing-up the Greenwich Observatory, incompetence and fear-of persecution come in to play with ironic and catastrophic consequences.

When a plot to bomb Greenwich Observatory falls apart, Verloc's identity is exposed, and those closest to him must bear the burden of his failures.
