Nostromo - Joseph Conrad - Bog - Arcturus Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Nostromo - Joseph Conrad - Bog - Arcturus Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Is anyone incorruptible? The inhabitants of Sulaco (a port in the fictional South American state of Costaguana) believe that head longshoreman, Nostromo, is just that. Entrusted to take the local mine''s silver to safety when a revolt threatens the town, he sets sail, only to run into trouble. A successful return to Sulaco, though, sees Nostromo help save the port from the revolutionaries. But he feels aggrieved at the lack of recognition for his heroism, and so he decides to claim his own reward by retrieving the silver that he had stored on a nearby island - can he obtain the love and the riches he believes he truly deserves or will fate take a hand?Often hailed as his finest work, Joseph Conrad drew on his own naval career and the many tales he gleaned as a sailor to produce this rich, multi-layered novel, whose themes touch on capitalism, revolution and materialism. This edition is presented with a striking contemporary cover-design, bringing this timeless classic to modern readers.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Arcturus Classics series brings together high-quality paperback editions of classics works, presented with contemporary graphic cover designs.

Carmilla - Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu - Bog - Arcturus Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Carmilla - Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu - Bog - Arcturus Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

First published in 1872, Carmilla is a classic gothic novella and one of the earliest examples of vampire fiction. Fast-paced and gripping, the story follows the protagonist Laura, who lives in a secluded castle in the woods with her father. One day, a carriage accident brings a young woman named Carmilla into their lives, and she is taken in as a guest. As time goes on, Laura becomes increasingly drawn to Carmilla, despite her strange behavior and the eerie occurrences happening in the castle. As their relationship deepens, Laura begins to suspect that Carmilla may not be who she seems, and that her presence may be linked to a series of mysterious deaths in the surrounding area. Carmilla has had a significant influence on the image of the vampire in popular culture, especially in its depiction of same-sex desire. The novel''s depiction of the relationship between Carmilla and Laura, which is both sensual and dangerous, was considered subversive for its time and Carmilla is now considered the original prototype for the lesbian vampire. With elements of horror, mystery, and the supernatural, Carmilla is a gripping tale of love and terror that remains celebrated and influential today.
