Book Description

From an anecdote and a brief visit to Venezuela, Conrad derived the exotic scenery of the province of Sulaco and its rootless mixed-race society. In this shadowy setting, Nostromo (1904) enacts an intense moral drama of dictatorship and revolutionary violence, of corrosive materialism and the voracity of "progress."
