In his short fiction, Conrad sought to explore the themes of betrayal, fear, and hope. This collection includes some of his greatest works, including "Karain" (subtitled "A Memory"), "The Lagoon," (his first short story, which was an outgrowth of his novel ALMAYER'S FOLLY), "An Outpost of Progress" (which has, according to Conrad, a "very different atmosphere" from "The Lagoon"), "The Idiots" (which Conrad considers "obviously derivative" and refuses to comment on), and "The Return" (which Conrad dismisses as "a left-handed attempt").
