The Nigger of the "Narcissus" (Norton Critical Editions Series) » (1st Edition)

Most readers know Joseph Conrad for creating Marlow's harrowing journey through the African Congo in Heart of Darkness. Conrad was adept at capturing the physical and cultural experiences he gleaned from 15 years at sea, but he also wrote political thrillers, essays, and plays based on his own short stories. His best works tend to be brief, but pack in a remarkable perspicacity about humanity's deepest faults.

The text is the authoritative version used in the Collected Works
published in 1921, which Conrad prepared from a 1910 reprint of the original English version of 1898.
