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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216480485715,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421149315411,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/nostromo-1996-folio-society-966","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
