The Secret Agent by Joseph Conrad

The cover of the book "The Secret Agent: A Simple Tale" by Joseph Conrad features a monochromatic image of a man in a fedora hat and suit, with his face partially obscured by the shadow of the hat. The overall tone of the image is dark and mysterious, emphasizing the clandestine nature of the subject matter. The title of the book is written in large, light brown letters, and directly below it, in smaller font, is the subtitle "A Simple Tale." The author's name, Joseph Conrad, is displayed at the bottom in a salmon-coloured font. The design elements and the shadowy figure convey an air of intrigue and secrecy.
