Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0192816241, Paperback)

Nostromo is one of the great novels in world literature. It imaginatively recreates the political, economic, and military history of a Latin American country through a remarkable complex of personal stories. Conrad's dazzling switches of viewpoint and chronology ensure that the reader is
embroioled in the stress and passion at the core of each moment of his characters' lives.
