First published in 1898, the collection chronicles the lives of individuals caught in moments of profound moral and existential crisis, set against vivid backdrops spanning Borneo, Africa, and Europe. Conrad presents each tale with a brooding intensity, unmasking the fragility of civilisation and the darker impulses that lurk beneath the surface of human nature. Stories such as Karain: A Memory and The Return illustrate the author's signature themes of isolation, betrayal, and the irreconcilable clash between cultures. This landmark collection stands as essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the full range of Conrad's literary genius and his enduring influence on modern fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956194226395,"sku":"2026200011118-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/86f07563-5687-4d3d-b5a8-4054691849ce.png?v=1783498989","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011118-secondhand-tales-of-unrest","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
