Sobre este artículo
1904. New York and London: Harper & Brothers, 1904. Original green cloth decorated in orange and black.
First American Edition of Conrad's well-known novel involving a South American silver mine, and the corruption and dishonesty fostered by its riches. Conrad was extending his "Lord Jim" theme: that the man who slowly grows rich can be a victim of the silver, not its conqueror; that wealth is not something gained but a trap for those who relinquish, however momentarily, their sense of themselves... [Karl] This copy is fine and bright -- and is rather uncommon thus. Supino A10.6.0 and Plate 11 (this copy); Cagle A10b. Provenance: bookplates of Eugene S. Brewer Jr. and of the Conrad bibliographer David J. Supino.
