About this ebook
The five stories brought together in Tales of Unrest (1898) mark a turning point in the writer's career. Conrad's first short story collection evidences a writer firmly in control of his new craft staking a claim to diverse cultural and fictional territories. The introduction situates the writing of these stories in Conrad's career and discusses their sources and contemporary reception. The explanatory notes identify literary and historical references and real-life places, and indicate influences. Two maps and six illustrations enrich the explanatory matter. The essay on the text lays out the history of the work's composition and publication, details interventions by Conrad's typists, compositors and editors, and explains editorial policy.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This is definitely not Conrad at his best.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5St. Barth trip Book #3: A worthy read.....several tales of the South Seas, one of primitive Africa, and a unique victorian story of manners thrown in for good measure...all leading to the conclusion in different ways that if we devote too much of our human capital on 'thinking properly and intellectually,' we pay a dear price in our overall emotional well-being.....human-to-human genuine honest communication is a necessary part of our healthy existence.....over-thinking can be detrimental.
