Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set against the backdrop of the jungle, the story follows Peter Willems, a morally corrupt man escaping scandal who betrays those who help him for love. This narrative explores themes of betrayal and passion, featuring Tom Lingard, a character from Conrad's earlier works. The novel, often overlooked, parallels the romanticized portrayal of nature found in Conrad's Heart of Darkness. Its influence extends to adaptations, including a 1951 film, and it resonates in literary references, such as T. S. Eliot's The Hollow Men.
