Synopsis
From an anecdote and a brief visit to Venezuela, Conrad derived the exotic scenery of the province of Sulaco and its rootless mixed-race society. In this shadowy setting, Nostromo (1904) enacts an intense moral drama of dictatorship and revolutionary violence, of corrosive materialism and the voracity of "progress."

From the Inside Flap
Conrad's foresight and his ability to pluck the human adventure from complex historical circumstances were such that his greatest novel, Nostromo -- though nearly one hundred years old -- says as much about today's Latin America as any of the finest recent accounts of that region's turbulent political life. Insistently dramatic in its storytelling, spectacular in its recreation of the subtropical landscape, this picture of an insurrectionary society and the opportunities it provides for moral corruption gleams on every page with its author's dry, undeceived, impeccable intelligence.
