Contains three novels such as: "Lord Jim", "Nostromo" and "The Secret Agent", together with a selection of the author's matchless short stories - "Youth", "Heart of Darkness", "The End of the Tether" and "The Shadow-Line".

LORD JIM, first published in 1900, confirmed Conrad's place in literature as one of the first 'modernists' of English letters. Set in the Malay Archipelago, not only does the novel provide a gripping account of maritime adventure and romance, but also an exotic tale of the East.

NOSTROMO is the only man capable of the decisive action needed to save the silver of the San Tome mine and secure independence for Sulaco,Occidental Province of the Latin American state of Costaguana. Is his integrity as unassailable as everyone believes, or will his ideals, like those which have inspired the struggling state itself, buckle under economic and political pressures?

THE SECRET AGENT, Conrad's story of espionage and anarchists, tells of Winnie Verloc and her,devotion to her peculiar and simple-minded brother, Stevie. Its savagely witty themes of human absurdity and misunderstanding are written in an ironic style that provokes both laughter and unease.

This volume also includes a selection of Conrad's matchless short stories - YOUTH, TYPHOON, HEART OF DARKNESS, THE END OF THE TETHER and THE SHADOW-LINE.
