| Summary, etc | in his powerfully imaginative creation of the South American country Costaguana, its people and its politics, Conrad produced one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century.<br/>Costaguana is in the grip of political upheavel and its silver mines, run by Charles Gould, are in danger of being seized by rebel forces. Nostromo, an Italian captain of great courage, undertakes to bury the silver, thus protecting the status quo, aiding Gould in his duty and adding to his own sense of heroism. Yet ideals become tainted and although men may act from the finest of motives, temptation and harsh reality transform or defeat good intentions. <br/>Nostromo, with its richly evocative language, its tension, mystery and unsurpassed vision of the world in miniature, is among Conrad's finest achievements. |
