Nostromo (Compact Disc)

A pessimistic novel about political power in a Latin American country, and the inhumanity and brutality that result when ideals and reality clash. NOSTROMO is considered by many to be Conrad`s greatest novel. It was one he hesitated to write, he says in the introduction, as if warned by the instinct of self-preservation from venturing on a distant and toilsome journey into a land full of intrigues and revolutions. But, he concludes, It had to be done. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
