描述
Set in the fictional South American country of Costaguana, Nostromo explores the volatile politics and crippling greed surrounding the San Tom� silver mine. The story of power, love, revolutions, loyalty, and reward is told with richly evocative descriptions and brilliantly realized characters. But Nostromo is more than an adventure story; it is also a profoundly dark moral fable. Its language is as compellingly resonant as the sea itself with characters that are absorbing and complex. It was Conrad's masterwork, a forerunner of modernism, and one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century.
