Sobre este artículo
London: J.M. Dent, 1920. First English edition, second (first published) issue. 416 pp. 8vo. Original green cloth, spine gilt though slightly faded, a little shaken. Very good. First English edition, second (first published) issue. 416 pp. 8vo. Signed by R.B. Cunninghame Graham. Presented by R.B. Cunninghame Graham with his inscription to front free endpaper.
Conrad's friendship with Graham began when Graham sent an enthusiastic letter praising "An Outpost of Progress," a tale he had read in Cosmopolis which criticizes the colonial system. In his biography Joseph Conrad A Chronicle, Zdzishaw Najder asserts: "Graham was undoubtedly closer to Conrad than Garnett or Galsworthy, who held far more moderate views ... [they] had a great deal in common ... their skepticism of human nature, their hatred of tyranny and exploitation, their exasperation at the stupidity of individuals and institutions ... Graham was Conrad's first intellectual friend of about his own age: the five years differencer between them was insignificant compared with the ten to sixteen years that separated Conrad from his younger friendsGarnett, Galsworthy, Sanderson, Ford and Crane."
Conrad had wished to dedicate "Youth" to Graham, and apologized in a letter to his publisher Blackwood: "I do not share his political convictions ... but we have enough ideas in common to base a strong friendship upon." In the end, the volume was dedicated to Mrs Conrad. Typhoon and Other Stories, however, was dedicated to Graham, and Graham wrote the introduction to the posthumous collection Tales of Hearsay. Cagle A49b; Keating 133; Wise 57

Sinopsis
Civil war rages between the native tribes of the Malay straits. Captain Tim Wingard sides with the Rajah Hassim. But as is the case with so much in the Far East, nothing is quite straightforward and events unfold by indirection.
