About this listen
Joseph Conrad’s novel The Secret Agent (1907) is a tragic tale based on the themes of espionage, double agents, anarchism, and terrorism. The story is set in London in 1886 and deals with Mr. Verloc, who works as a spy for an unnamed country. When he becomes involved in an anarchist plot to blow up the Greenwich Observatory, things go haywire, revealing an unholy mess that involves politicians, policemen, foreign diplomats, and London's high society.
Conrad’s bleak portrait of London was inspired by Charles Dickens’ Bleak House. The novel was modified as a stage play by Conrad himself and has been adapted for film, TV, radio, and opera.
