Overview

À la fin du XIXe siècle, Verloc, agent secret d'une puissance étrangère, infiltre les anarchistes et terroristes de son pays réfugiés à Londres. Il doit mener de front sa vie d'agent secret et sa vie familiale, avec sa femme, accompagnée de sa mère vieille et malade et de son frère, handicapé mental. Sommé par sa hiérarchie de se secouer et de réveiller les Anglais, il va s'impliquer dans un plan visant à poser une bombe à l'observatoire de Greenwich... Conrad nous fait un beau portrait, très détaillé, du monde qui gravite autour de notre héros, et de la destruction de cette misérable famille.

About the Author

About The Author
Best known for his novella Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad (1857–1924) was a Polish–British author. Although not a native English speaker, Conrad came to be regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. He revolutionized the English novel with books such as The Secret Agent, Nostromo, and Typhoon. Before publishing his first novel, Almayer's Folly, in 1895, Joseph Conrad spent almost 20 years working mostly at sea as a merchant sailor.
