Four long stories from 1915. In The Planter of Malata a colonial adventurer falls hopelessly in love with a beautiful, cold visitor; The Partner tells of a swindle and a shipwreck; The Inn of the Two Witches finds a young English seaman trapped in a sinister Spanish inn during the Peninsular War; and Because of the Dollars follows a decent island trader and a woman called Laughing Anne.
Late Conrad, darker and more melodramatic than the early sea tales, but full of his brooding atmosphere. Download the free EPUB.
