This first volume contains four novels and a collection of stories, "Almayer's Folly" which recounts the fate of a man who runs a bar in Sambir -on the coast of Borneo Sumatra- or on behalf of Captain Lingard, which he married the Malay protected and with whom he has a daughter Nina he's crazy, he married in order to inherit the captain wealthy and learn from it the location of a treasure ... it goes sink disillusionment disillusionment -to cause of his case, his hopes of wealth, the Métis girl who abandon for a man; "A pariah islands" that takes place -for the party as primarily to Sambir while Nina was five and which Almayer and the Captain Lingard are secondary characters but whose -or anti-hero-hero who committed Willems embezzlement putting the ban of Western society-a man imbued with himself, selfish and vaniteux- will permanently alienating the only being Lingard- -the captain who helped and who tried to make it a semblance of normal life ...; "The negro of the Narcissus" is a maritime tragedy in five acts taking place during a voyage from Bombay to London where the crew is revealed on this floating island through the raging elements of the ocean-especially in chapter three where a hurricane off the coast of Madagascar falls on them -...; "Lord Jim" the story of a man who committed a -l'abandon Patna spinelessness of a ship ready to sink with 800 pilgrims on board ...- who continue all his life, who suffer, who s will report to better sink in ...; "Concerns" five new / very pessimistic tales of which "The Idiots" is set in a rainy Britain where one feels the influence of Maupassant. Conrad genius descriptions whatsoever of nature, elements, atmosphere-especially that of Southeast Asia or the Is table inside of his heroes-including Lord Jim is the best example, being tormented , painful, naive and FIER, his writing is very rich language -fourmillantes of thousands of detail-precise and highly pictorial, not to mention its very modern and often politically incorrect protagonists; even if I did not like his book "Concerns" I still put five stars because I loved her four novels that have given me the desire to continue to discover this great writer. To read.
