About this book
Set in Borneo, this novel follows Kaspar Almayer, a Dutch trader whose hopes for wealth and a return to Europe are bound up with his daughter and the colonial world around him. It suits readers interested in Joseph Conrad's fiction and early literary treatments of European colonialism.
Joseph Conrad
Joseph Conrad was a Polish-British novelist and story writer. He is regarded as one of the greatest writers in the English language and – though he did not speak English fluently until his twenties – he became a master prose stylist who brought a non-English sensibility into English literature.
