However, when conflict arises, his failure to act leads to tragic consequences.

Nostromo : Written in 1904, Nostromo is regarded as one of Joseph Conrad’s finest works. Set in the fictional South American country of Costaguana and its port city, Sulaco, it explores the region’s wars and politics. The story follows Nostromo, a charismatic Italian who feels unappreciated after risking his life to save silver ingots. His ensuing obsession and paranoia ultimately lead to his tragic death as he seeks access to his treasure.

Joseph Conrad

Polish author Joseph Conrad is considered to be one of the greatest English-language novelists, a remarkable achievement considering English was not his first language. Conrad s literary works often featured a nautical setting, reflecting the influences of his early career in the Merchant Navy, and his depictions of the struggles of the human spirit in a cold, indifferent world are best exemplified in such seminal works as Heart of Darkness, Lord JimM, The Secret Agent, Nostromo, and Typhoon. Regarded as a forerunner of modernist literature, Conrad s writing style and characters have influenced such distinguished writers as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, William S. Burroughs, Hunter S. Thompson, and George Orwell, among many others. Many of Conrad s novels have been adapted for film, most notably Heart of Darkness, which served as the inspiration and foundation for Francis Ford Coppola s 1979 film Apocalypse Now.
