Insistently dramatic in its storytelling, spectacular in its recreation of the subtropical landscape, this picture of an insurrectionary society and the opportunities it provides for moral corruption gleams on every page with its author's dry, undeceived, impeccable intelligence. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

In 1896 he settled in Kent, where he produced within fifteen years such modern classics as \u003ci\u003eYouth\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHeart of Darkness\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLord Jim\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTyphoon\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNostromo\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Secret Agent\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eUnder Western Eyes\u003c\/i\u003e. He continued to write until his death in 1924. Today Conrad is generally regarded as one of the greatest writers of fiction in English--his third language.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51764080967954,"sku":"9780141441634","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_7b9fe96e-e569-429d-a918-6c1d5a8fc879.jpg?v=1764752665","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/nostromo-a-tale-of-the-seaboard-9780141441634","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
