"Almayer's Folly is the first novel by the English writer of distinction Joseph Conrad (1857-1924). Its publication immediately made Conrad's name popular in the English literary set. On account of this novel, the critics called him the "Kipling of the Malay Archipelago". Even today, the book draws the reader's attention due to its unexpected reversals of the plot, psychological persuasiveness, humanity, author's deep reflections on a man's character, eloquent dialogues, colourful descriptions of nature, and life peculiarities of the Malay Archipelago population. The novel will surely be interesting for a modern reader as well.
