""An Outcast of the Islands"" is a novel written by Joseph Conrad, first published in 1896. The story is set in the Malay Archipelago and follows the life of a man named Willems, who is a trader in the region. Willems is a complex character who is torn between his desire for wealth and power and his moral conscience. He becomes involved with a local tribe and falls in love with a woman named Aissa. However, his actions lead to his downfall and he becomes an outcast, living on a remote island with Aissa. The novel explores themes of colonialism, morality, love, and redemption. Conrad's vivid descriptions of the landscape and the characters make the novel a compelling read. ""An Outcast of the Islands"" is a classic work of literature and is considered one of Conrad's best works.A run of bad luck at cards, the failure of a small speculation undertaken on his own account, an unexpected demand for money from one or another member of the Da Souza family--and almost before he was well aware of it he was off the path of his peculiar honesty. It was such a faint and ill-defined track that it took him some time to find out how far he had strayed amongst the brambles of the dangerous wilderness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
