An Anarchist by Joseph Conrad is a short story that explores the themes of revolution, power, and individualism. The story follows an anarchist named Michaelis who is on a mission to assassinate a prominent political figure. As he prepares for the attack, Michaelis reflects on his anarchist beliefs and the reasons behind his actions. Through Michaelis' internal monologue, Conrad delves into the complexities of anarchism and the motivations of those who embrace it. The story also touches on the broader political and social context of the time, with references to the Paris Commune and the rise of socialism in Europe. Overall, An Anarchist is a thought-provoking exploration of radical politics and the human desire for freedom and autonomy. Conrad's vivid prose and nuanced characterizations make this short story a compelling read for anyone interested in the history of political thought or the anarchist movement.The man's head and shoulders emerged above the deck, over which were scattered various tools of his trade and a few pieces of machinery. He was doing some repairs to the engines. At the sound of our footsteps he raised anxiously a grimy face with a pointed chin and a tiny fair moustache. What could be seen of his delicate features under the black smudges appeared to me wasted and livid in the greenish shade of the enormous tree spreading its foliage over the launch moored close to the bank.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
