Description

Under Western Eyes is a story of revolutionaries set in Switzerland and Russia. An atmosphere of ominous suspense hangs over this narrative of plot and counterplot, loyalty and betrayal.

Conrad's intention was to render not so much the political but the psychological state of Russia in 1911. The various characters owe their existence to the condition of Russia and the emotional reactions of the Russian temperament to the pressure of tyrannical lawlessness and senseless despotism.

It is a penetrating and prophetic study of the Russian personality as revealed in the characters of vague idealists, conspirators, spies, traitors, and bureaucrats, and its accuracy is shown by the great popularity of the book in Russia at the time of the Revolution.
