Dark allegory describes the narrator's journey up the Congo River and his meeting with, and fascination by, Mr. Kurtz, a mysterious personage who dominates the unruly inhabitants of the region. Masterly blend of adventure, character development, psychological penetration. Considered by many Conrad's finest, most enigmatic story.]]> Wed, 14 Sep 1977 21:47:48 +0300 https://archive.bookfrom.net/joseph-conrad/34069-victory_dover_thrift_editions.html https://archive.bookfrom.net/joseph-conrad/34069-victory_dover_thrift_editions.html
"The world is a bad dog. It will bite you if you give it a chance," maintains Axel Heyst, a Swedish drifter in the Pacific islands. Heyst's attempt to remain aloof from the rest of humanity is challenged by his compassion for Lena, a destitute orchestra girl. Defying Lena's abusive boss, the two flee to an isolated paradise. But the vengeful employer sets a trio of miscreants on the lovers' trail, leading Heyst's growing moral courage to a deadly reckoning.
First published in 1915, Victory is Conrad's last great novel. Its central question, whether a man of moral sensitivity can function in a corrupt and derelict world, is treated with the author's fundamental pessimism and with faith in the possibility of redemption. The tale abounds in elements characteristic of the great storyteller's later work: an exotic setting, richly and powerfully evoked; muscular prose; complex characterization; and a compelling examination of the human capacity for good and evil. **]]> Fri, 15 Sep 2017 16:18:17 +0300 https://archive.bookfrom.net/joseph-conrad/34066-nostromo.html https://archive.bookfrom.net/joseph-conrad/34066-nostromo.html
A gripping tale of capitalist exploitation and rebellion, set amid the mist-shrouded mountains of a fictional South American republic, employs flashbacks and glimpses of the future to depict the lure of silver and its effects on men. Conrad's deep moral consciousness and masterful narrative technique are at their best in this, one of his greatest works. ]]> Wed, 14 Sep 1977 21:47:48 +0300 https://archive.bookfrom.net/joseph-conrad/34065-secret_agent.html https://archive.bookfrom.net/joseph-conrad/34065-secret_agent.html
"The Secret Agent" is the unsurpassed ancestor of a long series of twentieth-century novels and films which explore the confused motives that lie
at the heart of political terrorism. Inits use of powerful psychological insight to intensify narrative suspense, it set the terms by which subsequent
works in its genre were created. Conrad was the first novelist to discover the strange in-betweenterritory of the political exile, and his genius was
such that we still have no truer map of that region's moral terrain than his story of a terrorist plot and its tragic consequences for the guiltyand
innocent alike.]]> Wed, 14 Sep 1977 21:47:48 +0300 https://archive.bookfrom.net/joseph-conrad/34063-lord_jim.html https://archive.bookfrom.net/joseph-conrad/34063-lord_jim.html
Haunted by the memory of a moment of lost nerve during a disastrous voyage, Jim submits to condemnation by a Court of Inquiry. In the wake of his disgrace he travels to the exotic region of Patusan, and as the agent at this remote trading post comes to be revered as 'Tuan Jim.' Here he finds a measure of serenity and respect within himself. However, when a gang of thieves arrives on the island, the memory of his earlier disgrace comes again to the fore, and his relationship with the people of the island is jeopardized.]]> Wed, 14 Sep 1977 21:47:48 +0300 https://archive.bookfrom.net/joseph-conrad/34074-the_nigger_of_the_narcissus_echo_library.html https://archive.bookfrom.net/joseph-conrad/34074-the_nigger_of_the_narcissus_echo_library.html

I had looked at her before; now I cast a sideways critical glance at her. I came out of my moodiness to wonder what type this was. She had good hair good eyes and some charm. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.]]> Tue, 21 Jun 2005 20:12:12 +0300 https://archive.bookfrom.net/joseph-conrad/34071-almayers_folly.html https://archive.bookfrom.net/joseph-conrad/34071-almayers_folly.html

Full text. Similar to Joseph Conrad's better-known Heart of Darkness, this autobiographical short story, by Joseph Conrad, depicts a young man's first journey to the East. Youth is a haunting tale about ill omens, the passing of time and the making of a man. Five men sit around a mahogany table, drinking claret. As the wine loosens their tongues, one tells a story from his youth, recounting the strange voyage of the doomed ship Judea. **]]> Fri, 15 Sep 2017 16:18:17 +0300 https://archive.bookfrom.net/joseph-conrad/8005-the_arrow_of_gold__a_story_between_two_notes.html https://archive.bookfrom.net/joseph-conrad/8005-the_arrow_of_gold__a_story_between_two_notes.html
