Containing five short stories never before published in America and “The Duel,” formerly published as “The Point of Honor”
The publication of this volume for the first time in the American Edition of Conrad’s works is in response to an interest that is rapidly making the name and work of Joseph Conrad known everywhere.
It marks the full turn of the tide in favor of this wonderful Polish-English writer.
The stories included are:
GASPAR RUIZ—A Romantic Tale
THE INFORMER—An Ironic Tale
THE BRUTE—An Indignant Tale
AN ANARCHIST—A Desperate Tale
THE DUEL—A Military Tale
IL CONDE—A Pathetic Tale
Five of these are practically unknown to American readers. Of “The Duel,” (formerly “The Point of Honor”) Mr. Curle, in his critical work on Joseph Conrad writes:
“It is a work of wide imaginative impulse—a wonderful reconstruction of the Napoleonic atmosphere. As a sustained effort in Conrad’s sardonic later style it is unmatched.”
