'An impenetrable mystery seems destined to hang for ever over this act of madness or despair.' Mr Verloc, the secret agent, keeps a shop in London's Soho where he lives with his wife Winnie, her infirm mother, and her idiot brother, Stevie. When Verloc is reluctantly involved in an anarchist plot to blow up the Greenwich Observatory things go disastrously wrong, and what appears to be 'A Simple Tale' proves to involve politicians, policemen, foreign diplomats and London's fashionable society in the darkest and most surprising interrelations. Based on the text which Conrad's first English readers enjoyed, this new edition includes a critical introduction which describes Conrad's great London novel as the realization of a 'monstrous town', a place of idiocy, madness, criminality, and butchery.
John Lyon has previously edited Conrad's Youth/Heart of Darkness/The End of the Tether for Penguin Twentieth Century Classics, and novels by Henry James, Rudyard Kipling, and D. H. Lawrence.

评分我惊叹的是意义,和前半部分的语言。
评分補記。
评分多年不读康拉德,晚期从航海小说转向政治小说后读来仍然夹带熟悉的眩晕感。最后三章精彩极了,喜剧式的政治波澜因为一场意外implode成为家庭悲剧,康拉德笔下Stevie和马车夫的对话写得多温柔,Mrs. Verloc最后的爆发就多快意。第11章漫长的杀人过程可谓心理描写的顶峰,之后Mrs. Verloc和Ossipon间的博弈也让人紧张又兴奋。读小说开心!
It's ironic because it suppose to be serious but it's anything but serious. The absurdity and uselessness of the revolutionists, futility of political conspiracy. Conrad's works are not like Orwell, whose works are very clear-cut and readers can immediately...
