Nostromo

Set in the sultry, fictional South American country of Costaguana, Joseph Conrad's compelling tale is a story of greed, corruption and power struggles.

Navigating his way through civil unrest is the charismatic and trusted figure of Nostromo, a longshoreman revered by many but never accepted as an equal by those in authority.

When rebels threaten the capital city, Sulaco, Nostromo is entrusted to spirit away a consignment of silver. But as the plan goes awry and his part in defeating the revolutionaries is unacknowledged, the seemingly incorruptible Nostromo decides to take his own reward - with tragic consequences.

Hailed by many authors, including F. Scott Fitzgerald, as a masterpiece, Nostromo is a bewitching and acute study of human nature
