About the book

Joseph Conrad's Nostromo is set in the fictional South American republic of Costaguana, where political instability, revolution and foreign economic interests revolve around the enormously valuable San Tomé silver mine. At the centre of the story is Nostromo, a respected and seemingly incorruptible Italian sailor trusted with protecting a shipment of silver during a revolution. His involvement gradually changes his sense of identity and loyalty. Conrad uses the complex political drama to explore greed, imperialism, reputation, idealism and the corrupting influence of wealth.
