Often regarded as Conrad's masterwork, Nostromo is also Conrad's darkest novel, filled with betrayals at all levels and offering little hope for man's redemption. A novel of huge scope and political intrigue, it is also a novel in which no character actually wins. All must accept the ironies which fate has dealt them. Setting the novel in the imaginary South American country of Costaguana, the ...             Nostromo: A Tale of the Seaboard Joseph Conrad Doubleday, 1921 Limited Numbered Edition, Seven Hundred and Thirty Five copies.             Nostromo (Everyman's Library Classics)1 review Joseph Conrad Everyman's Library, 1992 "Costaguana will always be run by butchers and tyrants."

The story of power, love, revolutions, loyalty and reward is told with richly evocative description and brilliantly realised characters. But Nostromo is more than an adventure story; it is also a profoundly dark moral fable. Its language is as compellingly resonant as the sea itself; the ...             Nostromo1 review Joseph Conrad Cambridge University Press, 1988 "There is no credulity so eager and blind as the credulity of covetness." Often regarded as Conrad's masterwork, Nostromo is also Conrad's darkest novel, filled with betrayals at all levels and offering little hope for man's redemption. A novel of huge scope and political intrigue, it is also a novel in which no character actually wins. All must accept the ironies which fate has dealt them.

In the harbor town of Sulaco, a vivid cast of characters is caught up in a civil war to decide whether its fabulously wealthy silver mine, funded by American money but owned by a third-generation English immigrant, can be preserved from the hands of venal ...             The Best of Joseph Conrad1 review, 2008 Kindle Formatting Needs Improvement Kindle edition is difficult to navigate because there is no table of contents nor links to the individual books within this volume.             Lord Jim & Nostromo (Modern Library)1 review Joseph Conrad Modern Library, 2000 EXCELLENT!! This is a truly excellent edition (and compilation). It may seem like a small point, but I really love the typeset used. And the prefatory material, especially that of Robert Kaplan, is particularly good. The selection of Lord Jim and Nostromo was also well done, for it juxtaposes two of Conrad's best and, perhaps, most representative works. On the one hand, there's Lord Jim, largely ...             Nostromo (Dover Thrift Editions)38 reviews Joseph Conrad Dover Publications, 2002 Money corrupts once again An "incorruptible" man (Nostromo) becomes corrupted by the dishonest acquisition of "filthy lucre" (silver ingots) when the lighter (barge) he is operating with the silver on it sinks; he is able to hide the ingots on an island for his later personal gain. His impeccable reputation allows the citizens to believe the silver is actually on the bottom of the sea. Nostromo justifies his actions by ...             Psychology and Politics in Nostromo: Permanently -Topical Questions in Joseph Conrad\\\'s Masterpiece Balázs Bartalos VDM Verlag, 2008 Not even Joseph Conrad might have thought that his novel, Nostromo, will be so topical at the beginning of the 21st century as it was more than a hundred years ago. It was first published in 1904, but it seems that the fundamental problems of the world have not changed during the last century. The novel\'s central concern, material interests and its impact on people and politics, is an invariably exciting topic to study. Conrad\'s masterpiece, ...             Nostromo - A Tale of the Seaboard LeClue, 2008 Señor Gould is an English expatriate who owns the silver-mining concession in Sulaco. He is tired of the political instability in Costaguana and its concomitant corruption, and puts his weight behind the Ribierist project, which he believes will bring stability to the country. Instead, the silver mine and the wealth it has generated become a magnet for local warlords to fight over, plunging Costaguana into a new round of chaos.

Omnibus collection, but this review is based on Nostromo, the only story I read in this collection. If a picture is worth a thousand words, Conrad expends many thousands in his cinematic writing style of "turn on the camera and describe everything" in a seamless opening framing shot. Bogged down by too many words (for some things, the visual media like film and painting are more appropriate), ...             Nostromo Brookes Global Pte Ltd, 2007 Senor Gould is an English expatriate who owns the silver-mining concession in Sulaco.
