nové vydání klasické anglické četby 'I have heard no end of tales of his strength, his audacity, his
fidelity...incorruptible! It is indeed a name of honour for the Capataz
of the Cargadores of Sulaco.'
One of the greatest political novels in any language, Nostromo
enacts the establishment of modern capitalism in a remote South
American province locked between the Andes and the Pacific. In the
harbourtown of Sulaco, a vivid cast of characters is caught up in a
civil war to decide whether its fabulously wealthy silver mine, funded
by American money but owned by a third-generation English immigrant,
can be preserved from the hands of
venal politicians. Greed and corruption seep into the lives of
everyone, and Nostromo, the principled Capataz, is tested to the limit.
Conrad's evocation of the great Latin-American landscapes, the ferocity
of its politics, and individuals swept up in imperial ambitions has
never been bettered. This edition offers new insights into Conrad's
masterpiece.
