"The Secret Agent: A Simple Tale" is a novel by Joseph Conrad, published in
1907. It explores themes of anarchism, espionage, and terrorism, as well as
the exploitation of vulnerable individuals. The story follows Adolf Verloc, a
secret agent, and his involvement with a group of anarchists. Verloc is tasked
with carrying out a bombing at Greenwich Observatory, which leads to tragic
consequences. The novel delves into the political and moral implications of
terrorism and anarchism. It received mixed reviews upon publication but has
since been recognized as a significant work. "The Secret Agent" has been
adapted for film, TV, radio, and opera, and it influenced the Unabomber, Ted
Kaczynski.
