(1 review)

A gripping tale of capitalist exploitation and rebellion, set amid the mist-shrouded mountains of a fictional South American republic, employs flashbacks and glimpses of the future to depict the lure of silver and its effects on men. Conrad's deep moral consciousness and masterful narrative technique are at their best in this, one of his greatest works.

Review of 'Nostromo' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Slow and sometimes difficult to follow buildup. The last third of the book picks up the pace somewhat and takes the form of one of the classic tragedies.
