The Rescue - Joseph Conrad

The shallow sea that foams and murmurs on the shores of the thousand islands, big and little, which make up the Malay Archipelago has been for centuries the scene of adventurous undertakings.

Sailing towards one of the islands of the Eastern Archipelago where his friend Hassim awaits help to regain his kingdom, Captain Tom Lingard is called to rescue an English yacht stranded on a sandbank. On board is beautiful Mrs Travers, a woman from a wholly different world, but with a spirited independence that matches Lingard's own.

In The Rescue, a story of love and choice, Lingard emerges alongside Willems and Mister Kurtz as one of Conrad's finest creations.
