"Almayer’s Folly" (1895) is Joseph Conrad’s debut novel. He settles on the exotic island among the Malays and mainly deals in river trade. It centers on the Dutch trader Kaspar Almayer, who comes to Borneo with a suitcaseful of dreams.
But Almayer wants to put an end to his waning career as a merchant and hopes to find the island's hidden gold mine, so that he can return to Amsterdam as a wealthy man, with his daughter, and give her both financial and social status. His half-Malay daughter, Nina, is met with reluctance by the local community. But fate can be cruel, not least in the colonies.This is the story of a man living at the edge of two cultures, having to adapt both sociologically and psychologically to a new environment.
Here Conrad masterfully combines romance and adventure with moral and existential issues.
