Editorial Reviews

Released in 1919, five years before the author's death, this novel is among Conrad's lesser-known works. It relates the story of an unnamed Spanish sailor who falls in love with a woman he can never possess. You can never go wrong with Conrad. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
