In Joseph Conrad's novel "Under Western Eyes", the story follows a young Russian revolutionary who becomes embroiled in a political conspiracy. Set in Geneva, Switzerland, the book explores themes of identity, betrayal, and the complex relationship between the West and the East. Conrad's intricate prose and psychological depth make this novel a masterpiece of European literature from the early 20th century. The narrative style incorporates elements of realism and existentialism, providing a thought-provoking reading experience for those interested in political thrillers and literary fiction.

I highly recommend "Under Western Eyes" to readers who enjoy thought-provoking literature that delves into the intricacies of political and personal morality.
