Фрея – єдина дочка Нельсона, власника маленького острова з невеликої групи островів, які прозвали «Сім Островів». Крім краси й гострого розуму вона вирізнялася урівноваженим характером і розважливістю. Фрея стає об’єктом уваги голландського офіцера Хімскірка й англійського шкіпера Джаспера Аллена. Проте перевагу віддає шкіперу, за що Хімскірк мститься: він затримує бриг Аллена й усвідомлено веде судно на риф, де він і гине. Джаспер же найбільше у світі любив тільки бриг і Фрею, і питання в тому,...

Роман «Визволення» – найбільший і найкращий із романів Джозефа Конрада, над яким він працював майже двадцять років. У ньому він розповідає про тяжке життя індонезійського народу, що веде жорстоку боротьбу з колонізаторами. Далеко на сході між глибинами двох океанів загубилися великі й малі острови, населені вільними нечисленними малайськими племенами. Капітан Лінгард, один із небагатьох, хто відвідував ці місця, давно замислив дуже важливу справу. І хто б міг подумати, що йому на заваді стане...

Portraying a young man's first sea-voyage to the East in Youth, and the blind old age of Captain Whalley in The End of the Tether, the stories in this volume are united in their theme - the 'Ages of Man' - and in their scepticism. Conrad's vision has influenced twentieth-century writers and artists from T. S. Eliot to Jorge Luis Borges and Werner Herzog, and continues to draw critical fire.

Within The Tides = Сборник (Партнер, В харчевне двух ведьм, Все из за долларов, Плантатор из Малаты)
Written at various times, under various influences, the four stories contained in Within The Tides are linked by Conrads treatment of loyalty and betrayal. They range in setting from the Far East via eighteenth-century Spain to England. The tone shifts from the tragic inevitability of The Planter of Malata and the pathos of Because of the Dollars to the gothic The Inn of the Two Witches and the grim humour of The Partner. The form of the stories was experimental but does not obscure Conrads...

Set in the Malay Archipelago, where Conrad spent much of his youth as an officer in the British Merchant Navy, Victory is a sombre yet brilliant study of good and evil in Conrad's mature manner. The characteristic theme of a man reaching out from his apparently total solitude in sympathy for another human being is explored through the story of Axel Heyst's attempt to rescue a girl from the machinations of a brutal gang. Conrad's extraordinary blend of moral profundity, pathos and...
