Sinopsis	THE SECRET AGENT - WORDSWORTH CLASSICS With an Introduction and Notes by Hugh Epstein, Secretary of the Joseph Conrad Society of Great Britain 'Then the vision of an enormous town prented itself, of a monstrous town...a cruel devourer of the world's light. There was room enough there to place any story, depth enough for any passion, variety enough there for any setting, darkness enough to bury five millions of lives.' Conrad's 'monstrous town' is 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. JOSEPH CONRAD Born Jozef Teodor Konrad Nalecz Korzeniowski in Ukraine of Polish parents in 1857, Conrad served in the British Merchant Service 1878-94 , travelling to Africa, Australia, India, Indonesia and the Orient, becoming a British citizen in 1886. Turning to full-time writing in 1894, his years at sea featured heavily in his early works. His novels, such as 'Lord Jim', and his novella 'Heart of Darkness' on which the film 'Apocalypse Now' was based have brought him an enduring reputation. Edad: adultos CONRAD JOSEPH Joseph Conrad Konrad Korzeniowski nació en Berdichev, Ucrania, en 1857, en una familia de la nobleza polaca. Murió en 1924, en Bishopsbourne, Kent. Durante su juventud fue marino. Luego, aunque su primera idea fue radicarse en París y ser un escritor francés, la vida lo llevó a convertirse en uno de los grandes clásicos de la literatura inglesa del pasado siglo. Sus originalísimas novelas -traducidas a todos los idiomas y llevadas al cine muchas de ellas- convierten la aventura marítima o exótica en una búsqueda iniciática a través de la prueba de la voluntad.
