|  | | Joseph Conrad
Most readers know Joseph Conrad for creating Marlow's harrowing journey through the African Congo in Heart of Darkness. Conrad was adept at capturing the physical and cultural experiences he gleaned from 15 years at sea, but he also wrote political thrillers, essays, and plays based on his own short stories. His best works tend to be brief, but pack in a remarkable perspicacity about humanity's deepest faults.

| | Under Western Eyes
by
Joseph Conrad
This psychological thriller is one of Conrad’s finest. Set in Tsarist Russia, much of this tale of political repression, violence and revolt is more contemporary than we realize. The portrayal of men and women placed under intense social and political demands is a somber depiction of the modern age.
