Joseph Conrad was a Polish-British writer regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. Under Western Eyes is a story of Razumov, who unwittingly becomes embroiled in a revolutionary conspiracy when he gives refuge to a fellow student who assassinated a public official. Increasingly enmeshed in the radicals political intrigue, he betrays the anarchist who had placed blind faith in him. The authorities then dispatch Razumov on a mission to spy on the revolutionarys sister and mother. A fascinating character study, Under Western Eyes hauntingly reveals Razumovs preoccupation with questions of decency and accountability when confronted by the equally powerful values of human integrity and moral strength.
