Selected Short Stories and The Rover

This Specially commissioned selection of Conrad's matchless short stories includes such favorites as Youth, a modern epic o the sea; The Secret Sharer, a thrilling psychological drama; An Outpost of Progress, a blackly comic prelude to Heart of Darkness; Amy Foster, a moving story of a shipwrecked, alienated Pole; and The Lagoon and Karain, two exotic, exciting Malay tales. II Conde and The Tale are subtle portrayals of bewildered outrage; An anarchist and The Iformer are sardonic depictions of revolutionaries; and Prince Roman is a tale of magnificent, doomed heroism set in Conrad's native Poland during the Uprising of 1831. Both those new to Conrad's work and those familiar with his novels will delight in this wideranging collection.
