This specially commissioned selection of Conrad's short stories includes favourites such as Youth, a modern epic of the sea
The Secret Sharer, a thrilling psychological drama
An Outpost of Progress, a blackly comic prelude to Heart of Darkness
Amy Foster, a moving story of a shipwrecked, alienated Pole
and The Lagoon and Karain, two exotic, exciting Malay tales. Il Conde and The Tale are subtle portrayals of bewildered outrage
An Anarchist and The Informer are sardonic depictions of revolutionaries
and Prince Roman is a tale of magnificent, doomed heroism set in Conrad's native Poland during the Uprising of 1831. Both those new to Conrad's work and those familiar with his novels will delight in this wide-ranging collection. This collection also includes Conrad's last novel, The Rover.
