---

Romance by Joseph Conrad and F. M. Hueffer Conrad was a Polish-born English novelist. His success is even more amazing since he did not learn to speak English until he was in his 20's. Conrad's narrative style places him at the beginning of the Modernist period of literature. Ford Madox Ford was a novelist, poet and editor. His name was originally Ford M Hueffer. He changed his name to Ford Madox Ford during his literary career. This is the second of their three collaborations. An upstanding Englishman named John Kemp is greatly influenced by a South American landowner. Kemp becomes involved in a world of pirates, love, and secrecy.
