Joseph Conrad 
Arrow of Gold 
A Story Between Two Notes

During his lifetime, Polish-born Joseph Conrad emerged as one of the masters of English prose. Best known for works such as The Heart of Darkness and Lord Jim, many of Conrad’s tales focus on seafaring men and expeditions into unknown lands. The Arrow of Gold, one of Conrad’s later works, follows and expands upon these themes, relating the tale of a young sailor who is drawn into the fight to seat Don Carlos de Bourbon on the Spanish throne.
