While these share some of the thematic preoccupations and settings of his famous later novels, the stories already demonstrate Conrad's innovative and dramatic power. Exploring themes of betrayal, fear, hope and return, this anthology brings together KARAIN: A MEMORY; THE IDIOTS; AN OUTPOST OF PROGRESS; THE RETURN and THE LAGOON. Following their magazine serialisation these made up Conrad's first collection of short stories in 1898, only three years after he abandoned the sea to write professionally.
