- Description
- Returning to the steamy backwater of Costaguana in South America, Charles Gould is determined to make a success of the silver mine he inherited. However, his dreams of wealth and power are thwarted when the country is plunged into revolution. A gripping tale of capitalist exploitation and rebellion, set amid the mist-shrouded mountains of a fictional South American republic, employs flashbacks and glimpses of the future to depict the lure of silver and its effects on men. Conrad's deep moral consciousness and masterful narrative technique are at their best in this, one of his greatest works.
