An Outcast of the Islands is a novel written by Joseph Conrad, first published in 1896. The story follows the life of a man named Willems, who is a Dutch trader living in a remote island in the Malay Archipelago. Willems is a man with a troubled past, and his life takes a turn for the worse when he is banished from his trading post for stealing from his employer. He then seeks refuge with a local tribe, where he becomes embroiled in a power struggle between two rival chiefs. Willems finds himself torn between his loyalty to his new allies and his desire to return to civilization. As the story progresses, Willems' moral character is put to the test, and he must come to terms with the consequences of his actions. An Outcast of the Islands is a gripping tale of adventure, betrayal, and redemption, and is widely regarded as one of Conrad's most significant works.A run of bad luck at cards, the failure of a small speculation undertaken on his own account, an unexpected demand for money from one or another member of the Da Souza family--and almost before he was well aware of it he was off the path of his peculiar honesty. It was such a faint and ill-defined track that it took him some time to find out how far he had strayed amongst the brambles of the dangerous wilderness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
