(4.5 stars; 15 reviews)

Apparently a two part story about a Damsel and a Knight, perhaps a damsel who depends upon the kindness of strangers. It was originally entitled "Dynamite" and first published by installments in the New York Herald. The book itself was the biggest commercial success for Conrad up until that time, 1913. It allowed Conrad for the first time to settle his financial affairs. The author's disdain for people who live on the land is apparent. A new understanding of the word "enthusiastic" is promulgated. And it is a love story. Let us see how the tale goes. (Summary by JCarson) (16 hr 59 min)

This will be my third time of listening. Joseph Conrad one of the greats in literature, he understood human nature well (not sure if he liked women that much tho, maybe he just preferred men’s company as he was at sea a lot in his lifetime). The reader is superb. ‘Five stars’ (I am not able to achieve 5 stars above for some reason. Thank you James Carson for all your hard work volunteering for LibriVox.

This was a slow read. I don't think I really even know what the book was about not sure why I listen to the whole thing but I did anyway…
