Tales of Unrest (Alma Classics)

Aleksandr Malyshev — Sat, 07 Feb 2026 19:14:15 +0000

These five stories were collected and published as Tales of Unrest in 1898, shortly before Heart of Darkness, the first of Conrad’s major novels. Ranging from the faraway and unfamiliar, where the acquisitiveness of colonial adventure is damningly exposed, to an ostensibly ordinary London household, these disparate tales display Conrad’s ability to explore and lay bare human nature.Set in Central Africa, ‘An Outpost of Progress’ is suffused with irony and represents a ruthlessly mocking view of European imperialism. ‘Karain’ and ‘The Lagoon’ are exotic tales of the Malay Archipelago, with the former telling of disharmony and discord between Western traders and the indigenous inhabitants. ‘The Return’ recounts the story of, in the author’s own words, «a desirable middle-class town residence which somehow manages to produce a sinister effect». The collection also includes ‘The Idiots’, the first of Conrad’s short stories to be serialized in an English magazine.

Nostromo

Aleksandr Malyshev — Sat, 10 Aug 2024 07:14:34 +0000

Is anyone incorruptible? The inhabitants of Sulaco (a port in the fictional South American state of Costaguana) believe that head longshoreman, Nostromo, is just that. Entrusted to take the local mine`s silver to safety when a revolt threatens the town, he sets sail, only to run into trouble. A successful return to Sulaco, though, sees Nostromo help save the port from the revolutionaries. But he feels aggrieved at the lack of recognition for his heroism, and so he decides to claim his own reward by retrieving the silver that he had stored on a nearby island — can he obtain the love and the riches he believes he truly deserves or will fate take a hand?Often hailed as his finest work, Joseph Conrad drew on his own naval career and the many tales he gleaned as a sailor to produce this rich, multi-layered novel, whose themes touch on capitalism, revolution and materialism. This edition is presented with a striking contemporary cover-design, bringing this timeless classic to modern readers.
