Product Description
This Halcyon Classics ebook is Joseph Conrad's first novel, ALMAYER'S FOLLY.
Set on the remote coast of late 19th century Borneo, Almayer is a young Dutchman who enters a loveless marriage to inherit wealth. However, his venture's constantly fail and his sanity begins to slip away as he loses his loves and any prospect of great wealth.
Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) (born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski) was a British writer of Polish descent; he became a British subject in 1886. Popular during the noontide of the British Empire, Conrad had been a sailor and usually wrote about nautical or seaboard topics. His experiences with the horrors of colonialism in the Congo influenced his seminal work HEART OF DARKNESS.
This unexpurgated edition contains the complete text, with minor errors and omissions corrected.
