Publisher's Synopsis
A gripping tale of capitalist exploitation and rebellion, set amid the mist-shrouded mountains of a fictional South American republic, employs flashbacks and glimpses of the future to depict the lure of silver and its effects on men. Conrad's deep moral consciousness and masterful narrative technique are at their best in this, one of his greatest works. For many one of best English-language novels of the 20th century. Nostromo is often regarded as Conrad's best novel.
