About this book
*The Rescue* follows Tom Lingard, a sea captain whose loyalty to a Malay prince and his cause is tested when a stranded yacht of Europeans draws him into conflict. Readers interested in Conrad's maritime fiction and stories of divided loyalty in the colonial Malay Archipelago would find it worthwhile.
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.
