Joseph Conrad’s third and final major novel of political treachery and oppression, Under Western Eyes is an intensely dramatic work which precedes the espionage thrillers of John Le Carré and Graham Greene. Conrad explores the depths of betrayal, guilt, and intrigue. The novel begins with a bomb that kills its intended target, a hated Russian minister of police, along with a number of innocent bystanders. A young student named Razumov hides the perpetrator, then betrays him and becomes a spy among his exiled comrades. He faces a moral dilemma from which there is no escape. Conrad professed that he intended to render “the psychology of Russia,” a country being driven by a Czarist despotism into anarchy by revolutionaries, “unable to see that all they can effect is merely a change of names.” This masterwork, published seven years before the Russian revolution, is a chillingly accurate prophesy of what was to come.
