Conrad, Joseph
Victory
Set at the turn of the 20th century, "Victory" takes place in the Dutch East Indies, now Indonesia. Its tortured hero is Axel Heyst, a loner whose empty life is turned around when he meets the beautiful musician Lena. They fall in love, but there's danger looming. A trio of violent desperadoes are headed to their island, convinced that Heyst has a stash of hidden treasure.
A sun-drenched psychological thriller, "Victory" was one of Conrad's most commercially successful novels. And one that still shimmers with his masterful style and narrative rule-breaking.
