    Description

    Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

    A wonderful complete set of Joseph Conrad's works. 

    Comprising: Volume I: 'Almayer's Folly' ; Volume II  'An Outcast of the Islands'  Volume III: 'Of the Narcissus' ; Volume IV: 'Lord Jim'; Volume V: 'The Inheritors', Volume VI: 'A Narrative of Short Stories'. Volume VII: 'Romance' Volume VIII: 'Nostromo'; Volume IX: 'The Mirror of the Sea'; Volume X: 'The Secret Agent'; Volume XI 'A Set of Six'; Volume XII: 'Under Western Eyes'; Volume XIII ''Twixt Land and Sea; Volume XIV: 'Chance'; Volume XV: 'Victory an Island Tale'; Volume XVII: 'The Arrow of Gold'; Volume XVI 'The Shadow-Line Within the Tides'; Volume XVIII: 'The Rescue'; Volume XIX 'Notes on Life and Letters';  Volume XX: 'The Rover'. 

    Conrad's mastery at prose brought a non-English sensibility into English literature. His novels were typically a nautical setting, and his ability to depict the trials of the human spirit in an impassive universe has been celebrated for over a century. 

    The proponent of the anti-hero, Conrad's writings have influenced many authors and screenwriters to date.  

    An exceptional find with these original dustwrappers in a fine condition.
