Description

"Almayer's Folly" (1895) is Joseph Conrad's debut novel.

It centers on the Dutch trader Kaspar Almayer, who comes to Borneo with a suitcaseful of dreams.

He settles on the exotic island among the Malays and mainly deals in river trade.

His half-Malay daughter, Nina, is met with reluctance by the local community.

But Almayer wants to put an end to his waning career as a merchant and hopes to find the island's hidden gold mine, so that he can return to Amsterdam as a wealthy man, with his daughter, and give her both financial and social status.

But fate can be cruel, not least in the colonies.This is the story of a man living at the edge of two cultures, having to adapt both sociologically and psychologically to a new environment.

Here Conrad masterfully combines romance and adventure with moral and existential issues. -
