This rich and varied collection of Joseph Conrad's finest writing is dramatic proof of his ability to chronicle man's adventures and achievements in foreign and often hostile environments, both on land and sea. The sweeping panorama of people, places and events observed and recorded in this volume brilliantly reflects Conrad's contribution to English literature. The content includes two novels-- 'Almeyer's Folly' and 'The Secret Agent' plus six short stories -- "Kamin: A Memory," "The Planter of Malata," "Falk," "Prince Roman," "Amy Foster," and "An Outpost of Progress."
