![]() ![]() Meanwhile, Adolf maintains friendships with Comrade Ossipon, Michaelis, and The Professor, a motley assortment of anarchists. Winnie takes more or less constant care of Stevie, and the two have more of a mother-son relationship than a sister-brother one. He shares his home with his wife, Winnie Winnie's mother and Winnie's brother, Stevie, who is mentally challenged. Adolf owns and runs a little shop where he sells birth control devices, pornography, and various sundries and curios. The book is an espionage tale, a family drama, and a comic satire that pits hilariously inept anarchists against overzealous policemen. Set in London in 1886, it charts the adventures of the secret agent Adolf Verloc and the work he does on behalf of a powerful but unnamed country, more than likely Russia. The Secret Agent is a novel by British-Polish writer Joseph Conrad, first published in 1907. ![]()
