A proposito di questo titolo

Inspired by the tragic accidental death of an anarchist in 1894 outside the Royal Observatory in Greenwich Park, London, Conrad weaves a gripping narrative centered around Adolf Verloc, a lazy and duplicitous secret agent working for a foreign government. Under immense pressure, he is compelled to carry out an act of shocking senselessness against the very essence of astronomy. As the story unfolds, it darkly yet humorously explores the hidden motives of Londons anarchists, revolutionaries, police, and government officials. In a world where appearances are deceiving, nearly every character—including Verloc and his family—emerges as a secret agent of sorts, revealing the complexities of identity and intent.
