{"product_id":"9780007477500","title":"The Secret Agent (Collins Classics)","description":"HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.‘They swarmed numerous like locusts, industrious like ants, thoughtless like a natural force, pushing on blind and orderly and absorbed, impervious to sentiment, to logic – to terror, too, perhaps.’Considered one of Conrad’s most political works, The Secret Agent is set against the dismal backdrop of a drab and alienating London, and tells the story of the bombing of Greenwich Observatory by a group of anarchists.Shopkeeper, spy and reluctant anarchist Mr Verloc becomes embroiled in this terrorist plot, exploiting his mentally disabled brother-in-law Stevie in the process, leading to tragic circumstances.","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47118943092976,"sku":"9780007477500","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780007477500_p0.jpg?v=1763616107","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780007477500","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
