One of these connections, coming out "The Return," will recur throughout Conrad's tales about men and women. It is the preoccupation with misdirected love. Of course, you could already see a bit of that in Almayer's Folly. And it's also, here, in the last story of this volume, "The Lagoon," which I understand from the author's note was written in the immediate aftermath of finish Almayer's Folly. Or at least hints of it are there. But the greater connection can be seen in later stories, "A Smile of Fortune," "Freya of the Seven Isles," "The Planter of Malata," and, especially, in "Because of the Dollars." In each instance, men are able to redeem themselves through walking away from a cold, loveless lair to seek further adventures or they have their lives ruined by undeserving women suspicious of all that is good and true in a person.
Another story, "The Idiots," traces the history of a mismatched marriage in the French countryside. The other two stories, "Karain: A Memory" and "An Outpost of Progress," are trader's tales. One is set in Southeast Asia and the other in Africa. Both allude to the other great "mismatch" in Conrad's work, the presence of colonial governments and their colonizer in parts of the world they fail to understand and always underestimate. ( )
