The Portable Conrad by Joseph Conrad

A collection of Conrad's most enduring work, edited by Pulitzer Prize finalist Michael Gorra

A great novelist of the sea, a poet of the tropics, a critic of empire and analyst of globalization, a harbinger of the modern spy novel, an unparalleled observer of the moments in which people are stripped of their illusions-Joseph Conrad is one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. This revised edition of The Portable Conrad features the best known and most enduring of Conrad's works, including The Secret Agent, Heart of Darkness, and The Nigger of the Narcissus, as well as shorter tales like Amy Forster and The Secret Sharer, a selection of letters, and his observations on the sinking of the Titanic.
