SELECTED WORKS OF JOSEPH CONRAD

'Lord Jim', first published in 1900, confirmed Conrad's place in literature as one of the first 'modernists' of English letters. Set in the Malay Archipelago, not only does the novel provide a gripping account of maritime adventure and romance, but also an exotic tale of the East. 'Nostromo' is the only man capable of the decisive action needed to save the silver of the San Tome mine and secure independence for Sulaco, Occidental Province of the Latin American state of Costaguana. 'The Secret Agent', Conrad's story of espionage and anarchists, tells of Winnie Verloc and her devotion to her peculiar and simple-minded brother, Stevie. Also includes 'Youth', 'Typhoon', 'Heart of Darkness', 'The End of the Tether' and 'The Shadow-Line'. 1371 page paperback.
