  • The Secret Agent: A Simple Tale

    Joseph Conrad, Carol Pentleton

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Dec. 12, 2010)
    The Secret Agent: A Simple Tale is considered to be one of Joseph Conrad's finest novels. Originally published in 1907, the story, set in London in 1886, is considered to be a “prescient” view of the 20th century, foretelling the rise of terrorism, anarchism, and secret organizations, such as MI5 and the CIA. The New York Times writes that it is “the most brilliant novelistic study of terrorism,” and it was ranked the 46th best novel of the 20th century by Modern Library. Because of its terrorist theme, The Secret Agent was noted as “one of the three works of literature most cited in the American media” after September 11, 2001. One of Conrad’s later political works, the novel deals broadly with the notions of anarchism, espionage, exploitation and terrorism, and portrays anarchist or revolutionary groups before many of the social uprisings of the twentieth century.
