Victory : an island tale / Joseph Conrad ; with an introduction by Tony Tanner. - New York : A.A. Knopf : Distributed by Random House, [1998] - lxi, 385 p. : map ; 21 cm.
Joseph Conrad possessed a matchless gift for embodying life as it is lived under extreme physical and psychological pressure. Victory, his last masterpiece, tells the story of Axel Heyst, a radically isolated, philosophically minded soul living apart on a remote Pacific island, who performs two acts of instinctive kindness and thereby embroils himself in storms of greed and vengeance, and of love and mercy.
Includes bibliographical references (p. xliv-xlv).
