Description: First American edition. Lacks jacket. A few minor blemishes to boards, edges a bit foxed. 1923 Hard Cover. 286 pp. 8 x 5 5/8. 8vo. Original navy blue cloth, gilt titles. Author's last complete novel, depicting the rivalry of the French and English in the Mediterranean at the time of the French Revolution. An epigraph Conrad placed on the title page of this work, taken from Spenser's The Faerie Queene, later became his epitaph. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Joseph Conrad was a Polish-born English-language novelist who in 1886 became a British subject. He is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in English though he did not speak the language fluently until he was in his twenties (and then always with a marked Polish accent). He wrote stories and novels, predominantly with a nautical setting, that depict trials of the human spirit by the demands of duty and honor. Conrad was a master prose stylist who brought a distinctly non-English tragic sensibility into English literature. While some of his works have a strain of romanticism, he is viewed as a precursor of modernist literature; his narrative style and anti-heroic characters have influenced many subsequent authors. Films have been adapted from or inspired by Conrad's Lord Jim, The Secret Agent, The Duel, Heart of Darkness, and Nostromo. Writing in the heyday of the British Empire, Conrad drew upon his experiences in the French and later the British Merchant Navy to create short stories and novels that reflect aspects of a worldwide empire while also plumbing the depths of the human soul.

First American Edition, first printing as evidenced by the missing quotation mark before the word "that's" on p. 219, line 29 [I said to myself: That's he, the man himself.'' "A novel of naval life in Napoleonic France. After forty years of piracy on Eastern seas, Citizen Peyrol returns to his native France, a country now ravaged and scarred by revolutino and war. Looking for peace in which to end his days, he withdraws to a safe harbor in a remote farmhoue on Escampobar Peninsula, which looks out to the distant Mediterranean, where the lovely Arlette lives with her aunt and the revolutionary Scevola. But the arrival of young Lieutenant Real calls Peyrol once again to action in a mission of danger, patriotism and heroism. This was the last novel of Joseph Conrad, a Polish-born English novelist best known in his own time as a writer of sea stories. He is now more admired as a novelist of moral exploration and a master of narrative technique - a major 20th century novelist." - from Goodreads dot com review

Conrad, Joseph. THE ROVER. , 1923.
Price: US$425.00 + shipping
Description: Garden City NY: Doubleday, Page & Company, 1923. Original blue cloth decorated in gilt, with dust jacket. First Trade Edition (preceded one day earlier by a 377-copy special edition), published before the English edition. The idea of a "rover," with its ambiguity of a man who, Odysseus-like, strives for experience, had been Conrad's plan in all his major fiction after The Shadow-Line. He was exploring what for him was his political, social, and moral world, that society summed up by life on the sea and those who can understand its message. Some of the passages in The Rover display Conrad in his best form, and they are, not improbably, passages of the sea [Karl]. This volume is in fine condition, and the jacket is just-about-fine as well (very slight darkening of its spine as usual, but scarcely any wear or soil). In our opinion the American edition, with its jacket, is considerably less common than its English counterpart. Supino A24.2.0 (this copy); Keating 179. Provenance: discreet bookplate of the Conrad bibliographer David J. Supino; also, loosely inserted is a former description card bearing Supino's extensive collation notes.
