Heart of Darkness (1899) is a novella by the Polish-English novelist Joseph Conrad, about a voyage up the Congo River into the Belgian Congo in the Heart of Africa. Charles Marlow, the narrator, tells his story to friends aboard a boat anchored on the River Thames. The story is based on a journey that Conrad took up the Congo River in 1890, during King Leopold II of Belgium’s abusive rule of the area. It exposes the cruelty that the author observed during his visit to the area. The Secret Agent is a brutal and tragic tale with the themes of espionage, double agents, international politics and terrorism. Mr. Verloc is a secret agent who leads a double life. When he gets involved in an anarchist plot to blow up the Greenwich Observatory, things go wrong, with disastrous consequences for his unsuspecting family.
