Conrad, J.: Nostromo (Unabridged) Anthony, Nigel

Set in the fictional South American country of Costaguana, Nostromo explores the volatile politics and crippling greed surrounding the San Tomé silver mine. The story of power, love, revolutions, loyalty, and reward is told with richly evocative descriptions and brilliantly realized characters. More than an adventure story; it is also a profoundly dark moral fable. It was Conrad’s masterwork, a forerunner of modernism, and one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century.
