SYNOPSIS
Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time
The Secret Agent is the unsurpassed ancestor of a long series of twentieth-century novels and films which explore the confused motives that lie
at the heart of political terrorism. In its use of powerful psychological insight to intensify narrative suspense, it set the terms by which subsequent
works in its genre were created. Conrad was the first novelist to discover the strange in-between territory of the political exile, and his genius was
such that we still have no truer map of that region''s moral terrain than his story of a terrorist plot and its tragic consequences for the guilty and
innocent alike.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Joseph Conrad
Joseph Conrad, aliás Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, nasce na Ucrânia em 1857, em plena autocracia dos Czars. Filho de um casal polaco no exílio, fica órfão muito cedo. É criado e educado pelo tio, o responsável por aquela que seria a paixão central da sua vida: o mar. Viaja para Marselha em 1874, prestando serviço a bordo de navios mercantes franceses antes de finalmente se juntar à tripulação de um navio inglês, no ano de 1878. Em 1886 obtém nacionalidade britânica e o Certificado de Mestre no Serviço Mercantil Britânico. Oito anos mais tarde abandona o mar para se dedicar à escrita, publicando o seu primeiro romance - 'Almayer's Folly', em 1895. Continua a escrever e a publicar até à data da sua morte em 1924. Conrad é autor, entre outras obras, de Lord Jim (1900), Nostromo (1904), The Secret Agent (1907), Under Western Eyes (1911), Heart of Darkness, Coração das Trevas, 1902). É hoje considerado um dos maiores escritores de ficção em inglês, a sua terceira língua.
