Almayer's Folly

- Publisher
The Story of a Man Blinded by His Greed of Gold
“The well-known shrill voice startled Almayer from his dream of splendid future into the unpleasant realities of the present hour. An unpleasant voice too. He had heard it for many years, and with every year he liked it less. No matter; there would be an end to all this soon. ” - Joseph Conrad, Almayer's Folly
Dutch Kaspar Almayer, a trader married to a native Malayan and father of one daughter Nina, is obsessed with wealth. He seeks in vain the lost treasure of Borneo and waits for the British conquerors in his unfinished house named by a fellow seaman ‘Almayer’s Folly. ’ A local prince in love with Nina swears to help the Dutch find the gold but can he be trusted?
