Více o knize
Set against the backdrop of London in 1886, the narrative centers on Mr. Adolf Verloc, a spy entangled in themes of anarchism, espionage, and terrorism. The story explores the darker aspects of human relationships, particularly through Verloc's exploitation of his brother-in-law, Stevie, who has an intellectual disability. This political novel reflects Conrad's shift from maritime tales and is inspired by Dickens’ bleak portrayal of urban life, offering a critical commentary on societal vulnerabilities and moral complexities.
