Conrad Meander Author:Joseph Conrad The term "world traveler" might have been coined to describe Joseph Conrad, the Polish-born master of English fiction and man of the sea. In this collection of six short works we accompany the writer to many parts of the world described in his novellas and short stories. In "Gaspar Ruiz" he explores a revolutionary South America, in "An Outpo... more »st of Progress," the deep recesses of Africa and in "Freya of the Seven Isles," the south seas of Indonesia. Conrad shows the underworlds of England and Italy in "The Informer" and "Il Conde." He returns to the world of ships in "The Black Mate." Wolfram Kandinsky, B-O-T's longtime Conrad narrator, selected these stories for recording and presents them with a special knowledge and understanding that would have given Conrad great pleasure.« less
