The Dawn Watch

More about the book

Migration, terrorism, the tensions between global capitalism and nationalism, the promise and peril of a technological and communications revolution: these forces shaped the life and work of Joseph Conrad at the dawn of the twentieth century. The Dawn Watch is a brilliant new interpretation of one of the great voices in modern literature. In a compelling blend of history, biography and travelogue, this book embarks on a spellbinding expedition into the dark heart of Conrad's world - and through it to our own.
