If I succeed, you shall find there according to your deserts: encouragement, consolation, fear, charm — all you demand; and, perhaps, also that glimpse of truth for which you have forgotten to ask.’ Synopsis Joseph Conrad Short Stories: The Complete Collection brings together 26 short stories by celebrated Polish-British author Joseph Conrad, who is regarded as one of the greatest writers in the English language.
