"Heart of Darkness" was first published in 1902. In this novella, Joseph Conrad explores morality and human nature.

Heart of Darkness famously explores the rituals of civilisation and barbarism, and the frighteningly fine line between them.

The novel details the undoing of Peter Willems, a disreputable, immoral man who, on the run from a scandal in Makassar, finds refuge in a hidden native village, only to betray his benefactors over lust for the tribal chief's daughter.

William Collins Books and Decca Records are proud to present Argo Classics, a historic catalogue of classic fiction read by some of the world's most renowned voices.

The Secret Agent, is Conrad’s dark, and darkly comic story of a band of spies, anarchists...

An autobiographical short story written in 1898 and included as the first story in the 1902 volume Youth, a Narrative, and Two Other Stories.

From the seed of an actual attempt to blow up the Greenwich Observatory, this book recreates the world of the secret agent. The world of law and order is mirrored in its underworld, a squalid terrorist landscape inhabited by, among others, the professor, who carries a bomb in his pocket.

The unimaginative and imperturbable Captain MacWhirr pilots his steamer Nan-Shan through a typhoon of such violence that even he is moved to doubt the possibility of survival.

Apparently a two part story about a Damsel and a Knight, perhaps a damsel who depends upon the kindness of strangers.

Classic shortish story by Conrad that relates his self-thought alienation from British society, as a young foreign man survives a shipwreck off the coast of Kent, England only to be shunned by most of the townsfolk.
