An Outcast of the Islands

About the book

He lost his honor – and found himself adrift in a sea of corruption.

In An Outcast of the Islands, Joseph Conrad delivers a haunting and intense story of temptation, downfall, and redemption set against the lush but treacherous backdrop of the East Indies.


The novel follows Peter Willems, a disgraced European trader who, after a scandal, is given a second chance by the idealistic merchant Captain Lingard. But Willems's weakness – his greed, pride, and forbidden love for a native woman – leads him down a path of betrayal and ruin.

As he spirals deeper into deceit and isolation, Conrad exposes the raw, destructive forces that lie beneath the surface of civilization.


Rich in atmosphere and moral complexity, An Outcast of the Islands is both an adventure and a psychological study – a powerful meditation on guilt, passion, and the fragility of the human soul.
