Sobre este artículo
London: Eveleigh Nash & Grayson, 1922. Nash's Great Novel. hardback. Very good, no d/j, red clothbound boards good, spine with black pressed titling and blindpressed titling on front (some rubbing and fading); pages clean and unmarked. 12mo (190 x 130 / 7_"" x 5""). Conrad's 2nd novel, published in 1896, inspired by experiences as mate of a steamer, the Vidar.The novel details the undoing of Peter Willems, a disreputable, immoral man who, on the run from a scandal in Makassar, finds refuge in a hidden native village, only to betray his benefactors over lust for the tribal chief's daughter. The story features Conrad's recurring character Tom Lingard, who also appears in Almayer's Folly (1895) and The Rescue (1920), in addition to sharing other characters with those novels. It is considered to be underrated as a work of literature for many. Conrad romanticizes the jungle environment and its inhabitants in a similar style to his ""A Heart of Darkness""."" .
