Review:
'...a brilliant demonstration of the power of textual brevity, a lesson for contemporary writers who bloat their texts to excess for fear of writing now-unfashionable shorter forms of fiction.' --The Observer
'It's a lovely edition, with an introduction by Philip Hensher, of four pieces of Conradiana which aren't that easy to get hold of any more' --Tribune Magazine

Acclaimed by F.R. Leavis as one of 'the very great novelists in the language', Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) was one of the leading writers of the Modernist movement.
