'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.
4.5 比Heart of Darkness好看,打碎的敘事結構和黑暗壓抑的倫敦都充滿電影感
评分事情都是要顺其自然的,谁都强求不来~~民意可煽动,但不要把人民当傻子
评分很荒缪又很无意义 政治是什么呢 最后浓缩进小报的边角料
评分我惊叹的是意义,和前半部分的语言。
评分1907. 为何如此泛滥的副词??/the propogandist vs the revolutionist/It is only when our appointed activities seem by a lucky accident to obey the particular earnestness of our temperament that we can taste the comfort of complete self-deception./"All idealisation makes life poorer. To beautify it is to take away its character of complexity." -死活想不起来还谁也说过类似的话。
