About This Book
'An impenetrable mystery seems destined to hang for ever over this act
of madness or despair.' Mr Verloc, the secret agent, keeps a shop in
London's Soho where he lives with his wife Winnie, her infirm mother,
and her idiot brother, Stevie. When Verloc is reluctantly involved in an
anarchist plot to blow up the Greenwich Observatory things go
disastrously wrong, and what appears to be 'A Simple Tale' proves to
involve politicians, policemen, foreign diplomats and London's
fashionable society in the darkest and most surprising interrelations.
Based on the text which Conrad's first English readers enjoyed, this new
edition includes a critical introduction which describes Conrad's great
London novel as the realization of a 'monstrous town', a place of
idiocy, madness, criminality, and butchery.
