What happens when ambition meets exile—and conscience fails?
In An Outcast of the Islands, Joseph Conrad delivers a haunting tale of betrayal, greed, and isolation set in the heart of colonial Southeast Asia. The novel follows Peter Willems, a disgraced European trader who flees scandal only to bring deception and ruin to the remote village that offers him refuge.
Through vivid descriptions and deep psychological insight, Conrad exposes the rot at the heart of imperialism and the fragility of human morality. As Willems spirals into corruption and manipulation, his fall becomes an indictment of both personal failure and colonial exploitation.
This edition features annotations, illustrations, and historical context to illuminate one of Conrad's most underrated yet powerful works.
"Dark, intense, and unsettling… a masterclass in colonial fiction." — The Times Literary Supplement "An Outcast of the Islands may be lesser-known, but it is among Conrad's most devastating." — The Guardian
