Joseph 

 Conrad 



OR several years Joseph Conrad has 

 been writing great sea tales and many 

 thousands of readers have found in 

 his stirring romances a kind of work 

 that is a real delight. Not being an American 

 he did not find his audience here as quickly 

 as he otherwise might have done, but he is 

 now coming into his own. Conrad was a 

 sea captain for years and "Lord Jim" has been 

 called the "finest man's-novel ever written." 



LORD JIM

 be called upon to face some great emergencv. What happens when an oppor- 

 tunity offers itself is portrayed in a most unusual and striking fashion. $1.50. 



THE POINT OF HONOR 



" It is swifter in movement than ' Nos- 

 tromo.' He is a stylist of distinction." 

 — Neiv York Evening Post. 



Illustrated in color. $1.25. 



YOUTH 



Three stories: Youth, Heart of Dark- 

 ness, The End of the Tether. ' ' ' Youth '
