In "A Chance Acquaintance" the familiar characters of "Their Wedding Journey" reappear, but the principal roles are given to Miss Kitty Ellison and her Bostonian adorer, Mr. Arbuton. Readers who can appreciate the sentiment, the style, and the nice discrimination of character, with its quiet humor and good-natured hits at Mr. Arbuton, who was not exactly Mr. Ellison's ideal of a Bostonman, and still further from that of some of our Southern brethren, will find it very interesting and suggestive. The beautiful style and graphic description give an interest and charm to this book, which holds the attention without the aid of startling incidents or sensational extravagance.

A new edition of Joseph Conrad's classic novel Nostromo from Livraria Press with an extensive Afterword and expanded reference materials including a character list and discussion questions. Nostromo by Joseph Conrad is a classic novel of adventure and intrigue set against the backdrop of the late 19th century. Set in the fictional twilight country of Costaguana, the novel follows the story of Charles Gould, a wealthy mine owner, and his struggles to protect his family and his fortune in a world of political instability, greed, and betrayal. Even though it is shadowed by Heart of Darkness, Nostromo offers a vivid, powerful and nuanced portrayal of the complex and often fraught relationships between individuals, societies, and the natural world. With its themes of isolation, power, and the human condition, Nostromo is a timeless classic that remains as relevant and thought-provoking today as it was when it was first published over a century ago.

"Nostromo: A Tale of the Seaboard" is a novel by Joseph Conrad, created in 1904 and set in the fictitious South American republic of "Costaguana." The inspiration for the story came from Conrad's young years. At the age of seventeen, when he served aboard a ship in the Gulf of Mexico, the future writer heard a story of a man who had stolen, single-handedly, a whole lighter full of silver. Conrad returned to the motif 25 years later, as he accidentally bought a diary in a used-book shop in which the author related how he worked for years aboard a schooner whose master claimed to be that very thief who had stolen the silver.
