'he murmured with conviction - speaking aloud to himself in the
shock of the penetrating thought: I am a lost man' Peter Willems, a
clerk in Macassar, granted a 'second chance' at a remote river
trading post, falls ever more hopelessly into traps set by himself
and others. The pawn of Babalatchi, the one-eyed schemer of power
politics, and of the rich Abdulla, who uses Willems to increase his
own wealth, his fate is sealed by his lover, Aissa, and by Almayer,
an embittered fellow countryman. An Outcast of the Islands (1896),
Conrad's second novel, is a tale of intrigue in which love and
death are the major players. It is a parable of human frailty, the
story of a man unable to understand others and fated never to
possess his own soul. This revised edition uses the English first
edition text and has a new chronology and bibliography.
