Publisher Description
A new pocket edition of this Conradian tale of maddening desire, from the master of the novella
On a sweltering ocean-liner travelling from India to Europe a passenger tells his story: the tale of a doctor in the Dutch East Indies torn between his duty and the pull of his emotions; a tale of power and desire, pride and shame and a headlong flight into folly.
This is one the most intense and incisive of the novellas which brought Stefan Zweig to worldwide fame.

Zweig’s florid but highly descriptive storytelling is brilliantly paced, making for a real page-turner of a novella.

Well told short story with a 'heart of darkness' atmosphere.
