{"product_id":"secret-agent-wordsworth-classics","title":"Secret Agent (Wordsworth Classics)","description":"Secret Agent by Joseph Conrad is set in London, and his story of espionage and counter-espionage, anarchists and embassies, is a detective story that becomes the story of Winnie Verloc’s tenacity in maintaining her devotion to her peculiar and simple-minded brother, Stevie, as they pursue their very ordinary lives above a rather dubious shop in the back streets of Soho. However, far from offering any sentimental picture, The Secret Agent is Conrad’s funniest novel. Its savagely witty picture of human absurdity and misunderstanding is written in an ironic style that provokes laughter and unease at the same time, and that continues to provide one of the most disturbing visions of aspiration and futility in twentieth century literature. Introduction and Notes by Hugh Epstein, Secretary of the Joseph Conrad Society of Great Britain.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1853260657\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1853260657.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Joseph Conrad\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
