Description
In this masterful collection of six tales, Joseph Conrad, the unparalleled chronicler of the human spirit under pressure, turns his penetrating gaze from the high seas to the tangled passions and political intrigues of the European continent. A Set of Six showcases the full range of Conrad’s genius, from dark irony to psychological depth and relentless suspense. Within these pages, you will encounter anarchists and aristocrats, soldiers and dreamers, each caught in a web of their own ideals, deceptions, and fateful choices. The celebrated novella “The Duel” unfolds a relentless, decades-long feud between two Napoleonic officers, a grim comedy of honour turned obsession. In “The Informer,” a tale of treacherous underground politics, Conrad dissects the cynicism and self-deception of revolution. Other stories sweep from the sun-drenched coasts of Italy to the grim streets of London, each a meticulous study of isolation, betrayal, and the often absurd contradictions of the human heart. More than mere adventures, these are profound moral explorations. Conrad probes the solitude that surrounds every individual and the illusions—political, romantic, or personal—that drive us toward destiny or disaster. Written with his signature stylistic power and philosophical intensity, A Set of Six confirms Conrad’s standing as a literary titan, for whom the greatest battles are not fought on open water, but in the concealed depths of the soul.
