( ) The more I read of Conrad, the less impressed I am with his actual word-by-word, sentence-by-sentence writing. Yes, he came to England and learned the language as a teen. But his command of the language is not totally solid and he uses a lot of words incorrectly or just plain makes them up (often based upon his learning French first and making too many baseless assumptions about the connections between the languages). That said, there is always a lot to unpack, he is a clever and wise writer, and his characters are always fascinating, as are his observations about people and their interactions with others. A good book but not as great as I had expected. I am beginning to think Joseph Conrad's books are less to do with the plot and more to do with the characters and their internalities of the world. Still, it was enjoyable enough to finish as his writing is well suited for this - lyrical long form sentences intimately outlining each character's worldview and motivations. Though, for someone like myself it took a bit of time at first to getting used to reading this style. I am more interested in the plot however, so I didn't gain as much benefit. But I definitely don't regret my decision in reading. Especially since it being a short and free read. Detrás de la fachada de una tienda del Soho que vende mercancía un tanto dudosa vive Verloc con su mujer Winnie, la madre de ella y Stevie, el hermano de ésta. Verloc es un anarquista indolente que camufla sus actividades políticas bajo el velo de una vida doméstica y familiar. De acuerdo con Vladimir, un siniestro diplomático, durante los últimos años Verloc ha hecho bien poco para merecerse ni la más mínima cantidad de dinero pagado por su embajada y ya va siendo hora de provocar a la clase media. Verloc acepta la misión de Vladimir y pone una bomba en el Observatorio de Greenwich. Pero, después de la explosión, Verloc se da cuenta de que ha destruido bastante más que la complacencia de la burguesía inglesa.

Politisk spændingsroman om en agent provocateur, som får den meningsløse opgave at bombe observatoriet i Greenwich, symbolet på verdensordenen. Hele forløbet er en ironisk-grotesk vision af datidens moderne samfund med dets forløjede anarkisme og totale absurditet. No library descriptions found. |
