«Salakuulaja» (1907) peategelaseks on politseiga koostööd tegev vene spioon mr Verloc, kes ühtlasi näiliselt kuulub Sohos asuvasse anarhistide liikumisse. Tegevuskoht on London, kus Verloc peab koos oma naise Winniega väikest poekest.

More About Salakuulaja
Nobody looked at him. He passed on unsuspected and deadly, like a pest in the street full of men. Joseph Conrad, The Secret Agent // Thieving was not a sheer absurdity.

Second book in a row that appears on American high school curriculum and this time I have to wonder what educators are trying to achieve by teaching it.

Grand opera.Tosca stabs Scarpia. Victorian London, amid a nest of spiesand terrorists. Classic stuff fr a non-stylist who is, nonetheless, a great writer (Conrad's first language was Polish, his 2d French, he wrote in English). A strong influence on Graham Greene, Conrad rips open a marital horror bet a scuzzy anarchist and his simple...
