One of the great political novels of the twentieth century, Nostromo is a sweeping tale of revolution, greed, loyalty, and corruption set in the fictional South American republic of Costaguana.
Joseph Conrad weaves together political upheaval, colonial ambition, silver mining interests, and personal betrayal into a dense and psychologically complex narrative. At the centre of the novel is Nostromo himself — the charismatic and seemingly incorruptible sailor whose reputation becomes entangled with power, wealth, and myth.
