VICTORY - An Island Tale

Joseph Conrad

On approaching the task of writing this Note for Victory, the first thing I am conscious of is the actual nearness of the book, its nearness to me personally, to the vanished mood in which it was written, and to the mixed feelings aroused by the critical notices the book obtained when first published almost exactly a year after the beginning of the war. The writing of it was finished in 1914 long before the murder of an Austrian Archduke sounded the first note of warning for a world already full of doubts and fears. - Joseph ConradPlease Note: This book is easy to read in true text, not scanned images that can sometimes be difficult to decipher.
