A very good and handsome set some mellowing to the spine panels and other light evidence of age a few spots here or there still a pleasing and handsome set. A pleasing autographed set of Conrad's works. The tasteful presentation is fitting to this master prose stylist who brought a non-English sensibility into English literature. His stories and novels many with nautical settings depict the trials of the human spirit in the midst of an impassive inscrutable universe.

Scott Fitzgerald William Faulkner Ernest Hemingway André Malraux George Orwell Graham Greene Gabriel García Márquez John le Carré V. S. Naipaul Philip Roth J. M. Coetzee and Salman Rushdie.
