Collected Short Stories II


Book Description

Joseph Conrad was a Polish-British writer regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. Though he did not speak English fluently until his twenties, he was a master prose stylist who brought a non-English sensibility into English literature. Written under various influences stories from Collected Short Stories II are linked by Conrad's treatment of loyalty and betrayal. The tone of stories shifts from the pathos of Because of the Dollars to the gothic The Inn of the Two Witches and the grim humour of The Partner.
