Description
A savagely witty picture of human absurdity, The Secret Agent communicates a profoundly ironic view of human affairs. The novel follows Mr. Adolf Verloc, husband, anarchist and spy, through his life of espionage and counter-espionage, anarchists and embassies. When his masters instruct him to discredit the anarchists in a humiliating fashion, and his evil plan goes horribly awry, Verloc must deal with the repercussions of his actions. The Secret Agent provides one of the most disturbing visions of aspiration and futility in twentieth century literature.
