About the book

Joseph Conrad's An Outcast of the Islands follows Peter Willems, a disgraced European trader who seeks refuge in a remote settlement in Southeast Asia. His selfishness and inability to adapt lead him into betrayal and conflict with those around him. Conrad uses Willems's downfall to explore colonialism, isolation, moral weakness and the destructive consequences of self-deception.
