The 150th anniversary of Joseph Conrad's birth is this December, and to celebrate, Penguin Classics is publishing new editions of Conrad's most famous books. Our evocative new covers and useful features—including maps, glossaries, and comprehensive notes—guarantee that you will continue discovering these tales for the next 150 years. Begin by jumping in (at your own risk!) with Lord Jim, and brush up on your sea-speak with our edition's new nautical glossary. Then sail down to the Congo and into The Heart of Darkness, the enigmatic, controversial classic for which Conrad is best remembered. For the politically-minded, our new edition of Nostromo, in which Conrad examines imperialism in Latin America, now includes Conrad's original serial ending, and The Secret Agent, an expose` of terrorism and London's seedy underworld, boasts a new introduction discussing London's real-life political anarchy and corruption. Still can't decide? Neither can we! Try a collection of different Conrad favorites in Typhoon and Other Stories , The Nigger of the 'Narcissus' and Other Stories, or The Portable Conrad. Happy birthday to Conrad, and happy reading to you!
