Summary

Navigate the Darkest Corners of the Human Heart.

Joseph Conrad, a mariner who became one of the greatest stylists in the English language, understood that the most dangerous journeys are not across oceans, but into the soul. This comprehensive collection brings together the complete literary output of a writer who blended high-seas adventure with a profound, often haunting investigation of morality, isolation, and the price of progress.

Inside this monumental collection, you will encounter:

The Master of the Sea: Experience the most evocative maritime prose ever written, where the ocean serves as a vast, indifferent stage for human struggle and courage.

The Psychological Frontier: Explore the "internal wilderness" of characters pushed to their limits by solitude, guilt, or the corrupting influence of power.

A Critique of Empire: Discover Conrad's unflinching look at the clash of civilizations and the moral decay that often accompanied the colonial expansion of the late 19th century.

Modernist Innovation: Witness the birth of modern storytelling through non-linear narratives and complex, often unreliable perspectives that changed the novel forever.

Conrad's work remains a cornerstone of world literature, praised by peers and successors for its atmospheric intensity and philosophical weight. Whether you are seeking a gripping tale of a storm at sea or a deep meditation on the human condition, this volume offers the definitive journey.

    First published in 1909, Tono-Bungay is one of H.G. Wells’s most striking novels, blending sharp social critique with personal reflection. It tells the story of George Ponderevo, a scientifically minded young man who becomes entangled in the world of speculative business through his uncle’s fraudulent patent medicine, Tono-Bungay. Through George’s journey—from an obscure provincial upbringing to the heights of financial success and eventual disillusionment—Wells offers a biting satire of Edwardian capitalism, class mobility, and the moral compromises of ambition. 
While Tono-Bungay is often read as a critique of reckless entrepreneurship, it is also a deeply personal work, reflecting Wells’s own concerns about progress, empire, and the fleeting nature of wealth. The novel captures the tension between scientific idealism and the chaotic forces of commerce, making it as relevant today as it was over a century ago. 
At once humorous and tragic, sweeping and intimate, Tono-Bungay remains one of Wells’s finest literary achievements—a novel that continues to provoke thought about the nature of success and the price of modernity.

    Thrown in prison for a crime he has not committed, Edmond Dantes is confined to the grim fortress of If. There he learns of a great hoard of treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo and he becomes determined not only to escape, but also to unearth the treasure and use it to plot the destruction of the three men responsible for his incarceration. Dumas' epic tale of suffering and retribution, inspired by a real-life case of wrongful imprisonment, was a huge popular success when it was first serialized in the 1840s.
VOLUME 5: Three days after the scene we have just described, namely towards five o'clock in the afternoon of the day fixed for the signature of the contract between Mademoiselle Eugénie Danglars and Andrea Cavalcanti, whom the banker persisted in calling prince, a fresh breeze was stirring the leaves in the little garden in front of the Count of Monte Cristo's house.

    IN A LAND OF PROVEN WARRIORS AND BITTER ENEMIES, THE OUTCOME OF ANY BATTLE IS NEVER CERTAIN AND MORE OFTEN…DEADLY. 
The bloody waters at the lake’s edge told of the destruction of the Kutenai village. Dead bodies were strewn about, smoke curled from burning lodges, and the war cries of screaming Blackfoot warriors followed the war party from the scene of death and destruction. 
It started as a rivalry between two war leaders of the Piikani Blackfoot. Friends since their youth, they both wanted the same woman and were on a quest for honors and loot. One chose to attack the Salish but met more than expected. The second, known as White Eagle, chose to go after the Kutenai and blood flowed. His easy victory over one village drove him to go for a second village, but he had not known of the wrath and vengeance of a dreaded enemy of the Blackfoot known as Spirit Bear. 
Together with his battle-hardened friend, Black Buffalo, these two were determined to become the personification of vengeance as they pursued the blood-thirsty and vengeful Blackfoot war party.
