The Secret Agent: A Simple Tale by Joseph Conrad
The Secret Agent: A Simple Tale is regarded by many scholars to be one of
the first espionage novels of the 20th century.
The Secret Agent takes places in London in 1886 and tells the story of Adolf Verloc,
a businessman and secret agent. Verloc is part of a group of anarchists
(people who believe in overthrowing the government) who also function as somewhat
ineffective terrorists. The group mainly produces anarchist pamphlets called 'F.P.'
(The Future of the Proletariat) and hold private meetings among themselves.
