An Outcast of the Islands
About this book
Joseph Conrad's early novel follows Peter Willems, a disgraced European trader whose betrayals and destructive passion lead to his ruin in the Malay Archipelago. It suits readers interested in classic literature, colonial-era fiction, and Conrad's recurring themes of moral failure and isolation.
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.
