There are few men who can truly be described as titans of literature. Joseph Contrad is one of them. 

From humble beginnings as the son of a dissident in Poland, to a life of adventure in the far corners of the globe, to at last a dignified position as an elder statesman of the English literary community, Conrad's personal story is as compelling as his writing.

Joseph Conrad: The Masterworks hopes to provide a thorough survey of Conrad's work to a new generation of readers. Inside this volume are two of Conrad's greatest works: An Outpost of Progress, the short story that Conrad considered to be his best, and Lord Jim, a tragic adventure novel that cemented Conrad's status as the preeminent author of the English-speaking world in his day.
