The Secret Agent

Viac o knihe

The story unfolds in a small, grimy London shop run by Mr. Verloc, who is indifferent to the business and leaves it under the nominal supervision of his brother-in-law. The shop, characterized by its unremarkable and somewhat seedy atmosphere, features a window display filled with suggestive photographs, dubious packages, and old newspapers. The setting reflects a sense of secrecy and moral ambiguity, with dim lighting that adds to the shop's suspicious charm. This backdrop sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the characters and their intertwined lives.
