The Portable Conrad (Penguin Classics)
by Joseph Conrad

The Portable Conrad (Penguin Classics) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A great novelist of the sea, a poet of the tropics, a critic of empire and analyst of globalization, a harbinger of the modern spy novel, an unparalleled observer of the moments in which people are stripped of their illusionsJoseph Conrad is one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. This revised edition of "The Portable Conrad" features the best known and most enduring of Conrads works, including "The Secret Agent, Heart of Darkness," and "The Nigger of the Narcissus," as well as shorter tales like "Amy Forster" and "The Secret Sharer," a selection of letters, and his observations on the sinking of the Titanic.

Review:

"This is the best one-volume selection of Conrad available. Michael Gorra's learned and acute introduction puts both Conrad, and Conrad criticism, in essential context."
