Almeyer's Folly (conrad Classic)
About This Novel
This is Joseph Conrad's first novel, which established his status in the British literary world as soon as it was published. The story takes place in Southeast Asia in the 19th century, where Dutch businessman Almeyer was struggling to survive. He tried to change the status quo by taking control of his beloved daughter's marriage, but was ultimately disillusioned. The novel promotes the plot narrative with fascinating psychological narration, and depicts environmental images with novel and powerful personal language. While revealing that the characters are trapped in the conflict between Eastern and Western cultures and cannot escape their tragic fate, it also demonstrates the author's profound thinking about the evils of Western colonialism.
