More about the book
Set in the fictional South American republic of Costaguana, the narrative follows Nostromo, an Italian dock-worker tasked with protecting a silver mine owned by Charles Gould. As tensions rise with local rebels, Nostromo’s frustration over unfulfilled promises leads him to betray his duty and seize the silver for himself. The story explores themes of colonialism, greed, and the complexities of foreign influence on local economies and politics, all infused with Conrad's sharp wit and keen observations on government.
