Paperback. Zustand: Good. Victory ? Joseph Conrad (Penguin Modern Classics, 1973) ISBN: 0140020608 ? Condition: Good ? Sold by Crappy Old Books Welcome to the tropics, where the sunsets are operatic, the mosquitoes are Napoleonic, and loneliness wears a linen suit. Victory introduces Axel Heyst , a courteous Scandinavian who solved the problem of other people by opting out. He manages a polite relationship with a volcano, a moth-eaten coal company, and the philosophy that detachment is almost a hobby. Then he does the un-Scandinavian thing: he meets Lena ?a traveling show?s ?lady violinist? in distress?and performs a rescue. This is the trouble with good deeds: suddenly you?re not an island, you?re an island with visitors. Enter the visitors. Schomberg , a hotelier who gossips like a broken accordion, spreads a tale that Heyst sits on pirate treasure. The rumor summons a three-man morality play: Mr. Jones (a cadaverous gentleman who treats murder like bridge), Ricardo (his ferretish enthusiast), and Pedro (the silent punctuation mark at the end of a sentence you don?t want to finish). They descend on Samburan , Heyst?s private Eden-with-termite-problems, to liberate a fortune that does not exist. What they find is worse: two people trying to build a small republic of kindness amid the steam and mildew. Conrad threads irony like a garrote. The book is called Victory , but the prizes are mostly interior: the moment when a recluse chooses a person over a principle; the way courage borrows the voice of someone who has been underestimated all her life. Heyst thinks you can out-think involvement; Lena knows you can?t; the villains prefer you don?t think at all. Watch how the siege tightens: talk curdles into menace; politeness becomes a weapon; the jungle hums as if it were on the payroll. Expect: A gentleman devil in immaculate whites, because evil likes a crease. A romance built from shyness, tea, and mutually agreed privacy. A hotel lobby that manufactures lies at scale. An island that proves neutrality is not a survival strategy. An ending that earns the title the way a scar earns a story. This 1973 Penguin Modern Classics edition arrives in that cool grey livery that makes tragedy look scholarly. ? Condition: Good ,? translated from Crappy Old Books : a veteran paperback with an honest spine-crease, a whisper of tropical tan to the pages, and the structural integrity to survive both a deckchair and a commuter train. No volcano ash; possible faint aroma of philosophical resignation. Buy it for the gentleman villains and the jungle siege; keep it for Lena, who steals the novel by telling the truth softly. Crappy Old Books: purveyors of paperbacks slightly weathered by experience?like the best characters?and far more dependable than rumors of buried treasure. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 4856
