Nostromo: A Tale of the Seaboard is a novel that was written by Joseph Conrad and is set in a fictitious republic in South America. The book has often been recognized as one of the best novels of the 20th century and it is notable for characters such as the title character and Charles Gould. Joseph Conrad was a Polish-British writer who is considered to be one of the greatest authors in English literature. Conrad's books contain much of the elements seen in 19th-century realism but his modernistic writing also influenced many great authors that followed including Faulkner, Hemingway, and Orwell. Conrad wrote classics in many different genres and many of his works were based off his experiences at sea as a British merchant marine.
