THE DUEL—A Military Tale
IL CONDE—A Pathetic Tale
Five of these are practically unknown to American readers. Of
“The Duel,” (formerly “The Point of Honor”) Mr. Curle, in his
critical work on Joseph Conrad writes:
“It is a work of wide imaginative impulse—a wonderful
reconstruction of the Napoleonic atmosphere. As a sustained
effort in Conrad’s sardonic later style it is unmatched.”

Net, $1.50; in cloth, net, $1.35_
Other Volumes in the “Deep Sea Edition” of Conrad

Chance
“‘Chance’ is a book that could have been written by no one but a
master—a book which it is well nigh a duty for every lover of
good writing to read.”—BASIL KING, author of “The Inner Shrine,”
etc.
Youth
_Contains “Youth,” “Heart of Darkness,” and “End of the
Tether.”_
“To read it is in some sense to live again, and that, I think, is
the highest praise that can be laid upon a work of the
imagination.”—HENRY L. MENCKEN.
Lord Jim
“‘Lord Jim’ is the greatest psychological study of cowardice that
I have ever read.”—DAVID BELASCO.
The Nigger of the Narcissus
“The sea, in his hands, fades to a background—sometimes smooth
and blue—sometimes white and furious—but always a background
against which are silhouetted the haunting figures in which he
interprets man’s endless struggle.”—Chicago _Evening Post_.
’Twixt Land and Sea
AND TWO OTHER SEA STORIES
“Mr. Conrad has never painted more vivid scenes of nature or
looked more deeply into the hearts of his characters than in this
moving book.”—_The Outlook._
Almayer’s Folly, and An Outcast of the Islands
_Mr. Conrad’s first and second novels_
“The figures in these books live for us, and above and beyond
them are the power of presentment, the marvellous faculty for the
absolute creation of atmosphere, the genius for description, and
the individual, finished style which these, Mr. Conrad’s earliest
works, display.”—Sir HUGH CLIFFORD, K.C.M.G., in the _North
American Review_.
Falk
_Contains “Falk,” “Amy Foster,” and “To-morrow.”_
“‘Falk’ leaves one inclined to declare that the writing of that
one story would be sufficient to place him among the
immortals.”—_New York Times._
