Overview
Few men have deserved their reputation more than Joseph Conrad. From a life of adventure as a young man on the high seas to a dignified position at the heart of the English literary community, Conrad has seen and told it all.
The Masterworks (Vol. II) picks up where Volume I left off in its introduction of Joseph Conrad to a new generation of readers. Inside is An Outpost of Progress, a short story which Conrad considered perhaps his greatest (or at least most disciplined) story, along with the novels Lord Jim and Nostromo. Lord Jim tells the story of a disgraced sailor's odyssey in search of peace and redemption deep in the jungles of the South Pacific. Nostromo is a tale of revolution set in the rogues gallery of a South American dictatorship. While Heart of Darkness is Conrad’s best-known work, it is these novels that cemented Conrad’s status as the preeminent author of the English-speaking world, offering an unflinching look at the Age of Colonialism and the eternal men who travelled along its edges.
