WORKS BY JOSEPH CONRAD
I.
AN OUTCAST OF THE ISLANDS
_Crown 8vo_, _cloth_, =6s.=
"Subject to the qualifications thus disposed of (_vide_
first part of notice), 'An Outcast of the Islands' is
perhaps the finest piece of fiction that has been published
this year, as 'Almayer's Folly' was one of the finest that
was published in 1895 ... Surely this is real romance--the
romance that is real. Space forbids anything but the merest
recapitulation of the other living realities of Mr. Conrad's
invention--of Lingard, of the inimitable Almayer, the
one-eyed Babalatchi, the Naturalist, of the pious
Abdulla--all novel, all authentic. Enough has been written
to show Mr. Conrad's quality. He imagines his scenes and
their sequence like a master; he knows his individualities
and their hearts; he has a new and wonderful field in this
East Indian Novel of his.... Greatness is deliberately
written; the present writer has read and re-read his two
books, and after putting this review aside for some days to
consider the discretion of it, the word still
stands."--_Saturday Review._
