About this ebook
First published in 1906, the tale is centered around anarchist movement and political violence in nineteenth century England.
This edition is enriched with two other Conrad's texts: "A Personal Record", an autobiographical work written in 1912, and "Notes on My Books", a 1920 essay on his writings.
Joseph Conrad
Polish author Joseph Conrad is considered to be one of the greatest English-language novelists, a remarkable achievement considering English was not his first language. Conrad’s literary works often featured a nautical setting, reflecting the influences of his early career in the Merchant Navy, and his depictions of the struggles of the human spirit in a cold, indifferent world are best exemplified in such seminal works as Heart of Darkness, Lord JimM, The Secret Agent, Nostromo, and Typhoon. Regarded as a forerunner of modernist literature, Conrad’s writing style and characters have influenced such distinguished writers as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, William S. Burroughs, Hunter S. Thompson, and George Orwell, among many others. Many of Conrad’s novels have been adapted for film, most notably Heart of Darkness, which served as the inspiration and foundation for Francis Ford Coppola’s 1979 film Apocalypse Now.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Well written story. Quite neutral politically, if anything it's against capitalism. When the capitalist in the story says, "I hate the cowardly bomb-throwing brutes," the author is clearly ridiculing him, I don't see how it's possible to believe that to be Conrad's personal opinion.
