London, Methuen, 1907

Conrad's thriller was based on a true incident from the late nineteenth century - a bombing in Greenwich Park. His treatment of the psychology of his protagonists in this novel is truly one of his greatest achievements. A Haycraft Queen cornerstone. Copies in this condition are not common.

First edition, first impression, first issue with 40pp. publisher's catalogue (dated September 1907) at end (final leaf of catalogue toned); 8vo; publisher's red cloth, titles to spine gilt, two corners lightly bumped, three tiny ink spots to spine, but an exceptional copy of a true masterpiece.
