Almayer’s Folly Joseph Conrad Folio Society 2002

Description Almayer’s Folly by Joseph Conrad A Story of an Eastern River. Conrad’s first novel, set in a remote Bornean outpost at the end of the last century. Conrad draws on his own experience to present the strains of life at a cultural crossroads. The Dutch trader, Almayer, is stranded in Sambir, 30 miles up a virtually unknown equatorial river. He lives among old and new cultures; his wife is Sulu (Filipino), behind him live his Arab rivals, across the river is the Malay rajah’s campong, inland are the primitive Dyak head-hunters, and decisions taken in London and Amsterdam affect every household in the settlement.
