Nostromo - White Cover

Nostromo - White Cover Book Description

The city of Sulaco, in the Western province of Costaguana, an “imaginary but real South American country”, Mr. It achieved stability and prosperity for a while, thanks to the silver mine operated by Gould and the relatively liberal management approach of dictator President Ribiera. However, the populist movement, which thinks that imperialist activities exploit the country's resources and itself, is making plans for revolution. The mine's silver is in danger. The fate of the country is in the hands of the arrogant and brave Italian sailor Nostromo, who has gained the trust of everyone.

In Nostromo, which is considered his masterpiece, Conrad paints the world as he sees it, not as he wishes it to be, and in doing so, he presents a detailed panorama of individuals, the human condition, as well as social life. So much so that this book is considered by many critics to be equivalent to the epic novels of Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky.

“I wish I had written Nostromo rather than any other novel.”

-F. Scott Fitzgerald -
