Under Western Eyes
Joseph Conrad
Formats & Editions
Under Western Eyes (1910) is a tale of two cities St. Petersburg and Geneva and of political and moral revolutions. It is one of Joseph Conrad s most suspenseful works and his most politically and psychologically insightful. Set in 1904, it opens with an act Conrad calls characteristic of modern Russia : the assassination of a high official of the autocratic tsarist regime. Under Western Eyes probes deeply into that repressive society where unremitting tyranny provokes revolutionary terrorism. Published five years after Russia s abortive 1905 Revolution, the novel clearly anticipates the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution.
