Captain Tom Lingard, sailing through the Malay Archipelago, comes to the rescue of a struggling English yacht carrying a mysterious cargo—and a beautiful woman. Both will prove irresistible . . . and deadly. Begun in the 1890s, The Rescue was not published until 1920.
About the author
Joseph Conrad (1857-1924), born the son of a noble Polish family as Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, rechristened himself with his pen name. He became one of the greatest prose stylists and novelists in the English language. A precursor to modernist literature, he mined his experiences in the French and British navies to create tragic tales that simultaneously delve into worldwide issues and the individual soul.
