Tales Of Hearsay

By Joseph Conrad

Tales of Hearsay by Joseph Conrad is a thrilling collection of Conrad's grim adventure stories of princes and pirates traveling abroad, murdering, and stealing for self-gain. Excerpt: "The old officer with long white mustaches gave rein to his indignation. "Is it possible that you youngsters should have no more sense than that! Some of you had better wipe the milk off your upper lip before you start to pass judgment on the few poor stragglers of a generation that has done and suffered not a little in its time." His hearers having expressed much compunction the ancient warrior became appeased. But he was not silenced."
