Almayer’s Folly (Folio Society Edition) – Joseph Conrad

In 19th-century Borneo, Dutch trader Kaspar Almayer clings to his desperate dream of finding a hidden gold mine and achieving European glory. His “folly”—an unfinished house—is a testament to his ambition and delusion. The arrival of a Malayan prince ignites a chain of events, forcing Almayer to confront the bitter reality of his embittered marriage, his colonial prejudice, and the impending loss of his beloved, mixed-heritage daughter, Nina, to her native lover. This tale of personal tragedy chronicles his spectacular fall into ruin and oblivion.
