A story of espionage, intrigue and corruption based on a real-life attempted terrorist attack in Victorian London, The Secret Agent was one of literature's first political thrillers, and is widely considered to be among Conrad's most compelling works.

It is impossible. We live, as we dream-alone."Regarded as one of greatest English novels of the twentieth century, Heart of Darkness tracks the aftermath of a disturbing voyage up the Congo River.This provocative novel, inspired by Joseph Conrad's own experiences, touches on economic, social and political exploitation.Almost one-hundred years after publication, this timeless classic provided the inspiration for Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 film Apocalypse Now.

"The Secret Sharer and Other Stories" is a collection of seafaring tales by famed author Joseph Conrad. In "The Secret Sharer", a nameless captain discovers a stow-away clinging to the side of his ship and secretly brings him aboard and harbors him in his cabin. In "Typhoon", the main character, Captain MacWhirr, decides to sail his vessel through a typhoon in the South Pacific. His bold action, at first to the protest of his crew, later earns him their admiration and respect. In "The Nigger of the 'Narcissus'" we have the tale of James Wait, a dying West Indian black sailor whose condition seems to parallel the fate of the merchant ship 'Narcissus', of which he is a member of the crew. "Youth" is the semi-autobiographical story of the first voyage of Charles Marlow, the narrator of Conrad's most famous novel "Heart of Darkness". This quest tale finds the youthful Marlow's nerve, strength, and patience all tested on his journey to becoming a man. A shining example of Conrad's later literary ability, "The Shadow-Line" is his 1915 novella of a young man in his first command as a sea captain. It is a suspenseful story of a defining moment of a young life, when the indistinct line separating an inexperienced boy from a mature man becomes perfectly clear. These exhilarating nautical tales by a master storyteller portray intense trials of human spirit and the powerful demands of duty and honor. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
