The prose of Joseph Conrad, one of the greatest English-language novelists of the 20th century, combines realism, poetry, and philosophical insight into the most inexplicable movements of the human soul. His works, possessing all the hallmarks and advantages of the adventure novel, transport the reader to a timeless space where morality struggles with the temptations of power, where cultures clash, and where man battles himself. This edition includes Joseph Conrad's most famous works.
Heart of Darkness is an undisputed masterpiece, plunging into the unexplained abyss of human nature, revealing the shadows hidden within. The narrator's persistent search for a mysterious ivory merchant ensconced deep in the jungle leads him to the upper reaches of the Congo River. As he progresses deeper into the jungle, he and his entourage increasingly lose touch with reality, penetrating the darkness that lurks within the human heart.
"Lord Jim" is a classic story of sin and redemption, given a new twist. Jim, a young and courageous English sailor, despises himself for the decision he made in a difficult situation. From that moment on, he strives eastward, into the wilds of Asia, in hopes of finding redemption.
"Nostromo" is one of Conrad's finest novels. A tense, dramatic narrative, captivating with its subtropical colors and imbued with a rebellious spirit.
The book features illustrations by Piotr Pinkisevich, as well as American and European artists.
