Book Reviews of Almayer's Folly: A Story of an Eastern River (Modern Library Classics)
Book Review: Conrad's astonishing debut
Summary: 4 Stars
Conrad's first novel is also one of his best. The writing has an easy flow and the story is involving. It's amazing how a man that only started learning English when he was 22 years old, and who was a practitioner at an entirely different craft (seamanship) can write like this.
