A new edition of Joseph Conrad's classic novel Nostromo from Livraria Press with an extensive Afterword and expanded reference materials including a character list and discussion questions. Nostromo by Joseph Conrad is a classic novel of adventure and intrigue set against the backdrop of the late 19th century. Set in the fictional twilight country of Costaguana, the novel follows the story of Charles Gould, a wealthy mine owner, and his struggles to protect his family and his fortune in a world of political instability, greed, and betrayal. Even though it is shadowed by Heart of Darkness, Nostromo offers a vivid, powerful and nuanced portrayal of the complex and often fraught relationships between individuals, societies, and the natural world. With its themes of isolation, power, and the human condition, Nostromo is a timeless classic that remains as relevant and thought-provoking today as it was when it was first published over a century ago.
