Description

Off a port in the Indian Ocean, the wind falls, forcing the young captain to anchor in a harbor agitated by a breeze coming from the ground. For Mr. Burns, the second, bad luck continues. A cargo of sugar must be loaded, but we lack bags... Then comes Alfred Jacobus, shipchandler and father of Alice, a morose and rebellious girl. He is also a seller of seventeen tons of potatoes. The transaction commits... Arrived in Australia, the fortune smiles to the captain: a scarcity of potatoes advantageously valorizes its cargo.

Author Biography:

Joseph Conrad (3 December 1857 - 3 August 1924) was a Polish-born novelist. Some of his works have been labelled romantic: Conrad's supposed "romanticism" is heavily imbued with irony and a fine sense of man's capacity for self-deception. Many critics regard Conrad as an important forerunner of Modernist literature.
