About the book

Joseph Conrad's Almayer's Folly follows Kaspar Almayer, a European trader living in Southeast Asia whose dreams of wealth and escape are repeatedly frustrated. Obsessed with discovering gold and returning to European society, Almayer becomes increasingly isolated while his daughter Nina develops attachments of her own. Conrad explores colonial ambition, cultural identity and the destructive effects of illusion.
