Victory by Joseph Conrad
Axel Heyst, a dreamer and a restless drifter, believes he can avoid suffering by cutting himself off from others. Then he becomes involved in the operation of a coal company on a remote island in the Malay Archipelago, and when it fails he turns his back on humanity once more.
“I am glad that I am alive, if, for no other reason, because of the joy of reading this book” —Jack London
