by Conrad, Joseph
About this book
Creators: Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) "Tales of Unrest" by Joseph Conrad is a collection of five short stories published in 1898. Four of the stories explore the devastating power of illusions, examining protagonists who suffer from moral blindness. These tales confront characters with harsh realities from which no escape—physical or metaphorical—is possible. Written during what critics consider Conrad's most extraordinary period of creative energy, the collection established his reputation as a writer of considerable achievement, even as popular success remained elusive.
