Small octavo contemporary three-quarter green morocco gilt raised bands top edges gilt uncut. $5500.Handsome set of the works of Joseph Conrad.Conrad did not publish his first novel until the age of 38 but his work earned him a place with the great modernists of the 20th-century ""among the very great novelists in the language"" Drabble 225. ""Conrad's work at its best achieved a synthesis of theme treatment and language of a kind without precedent in English literatureÉ Novelty of theme and the piquancy of a non-English origin established him as a romantic almost as a legendary figure. His stories had excitement of a new kind and his style by its very queerness could allureÉ powerfullyÉ achieving a perfect equilibrium of pictorial and narrative style"" DNB.

1919ref. 1091631919. First Edition. CONRAD Joseph. The Arrow of Gold. A Story between Two Notes. London: T. Fisher Unwin 1919. Octavo original green cloth original dust jacket. $3500.First English edition the first edition complete with Conrad's corrections in scarce unrestored dust jacket.Written from 1917-18 Conrad's Arrow of Gold earned high praise on publication as richly poetic and ""tense dramatic vibrant with the thrill of a great passionÉ written in that intensely individual flexible style which renders this man of Polish birth one of the most distinguished among the living writers of English"" New York Times Book Review. Critics have since noted that ""in no other book does Conrad work quite so steadily as a painter in prose"" Wiley Conrad's Measure of Man 163 achieving a narrative complexity that fully embodies ""the use of self-consciously aesthetic ways of seeing"" Stape 147. Conrad would himself write that Arrow of Gold arose from subjects first considered in his youth. ""I was conscious of it through all the years of my writing life but I was reluctant to take it upÉ It was only in 1917 that I brought myself to consider it seriously"" Wise 40. Conrad strongly objected to the novel's ""early publication in America"" but failure to negotiate serial rights there led to the publisher's insistence on an April 1919 printing before Conrad's corrections could be incorporated into the text. First English edition complete with Conrad's corrections not present in the American edition issued four months prior. With Cagle's ""a"" binding ""c"" endpapers ""b"" dust jacket with gold arrow on front panel and spine: no clear priority established. Serially printed in England's Lloyd's Magazine December 1918-February 1920. Cagle A38b. Wise 41. Book clean and very nearly fine. Unrestored dust jacket often not present toned at spine and edges with light edge-wear to spine ends tiny snag to rear panel extremely good. hardcover

Octavo original gray-green cloth decorated in red original dust jacket. $1900.First edition of this autobiographical novel based on ConradÕs 1888 first command. A lovely copy in the scarce original dust jacket.Of this book Conrad has written: ""This story has been in my mind for some years. Originally I used to think of it under the name of First Command. When I managed in the second year of war to concentrate my mind sufficiently to begin working I turned to this subject as the easiest. But in consequence of my changed mental attitude to it it became The Shadow Line."" This novel tells the story of an extraordinary experience of Conrad's first command as Captain of the Otago while bound from Bangkok to Australia. It was on January 5 1888 while at Singapore that Conrad suddenly decided to throw up his berth on the Vidar and while preparing to return to Europe in search of a ship circumstances unexpectedly put him in the way of just what he wantedÑthe command of a sailing vessel Keating 263-64. First serialized in The English Review September 1916-March 1917. ""The English Review version was substantially revisedÉ Conrad continued polishing while reading proofÉ Possibly by the time he returned these to Dent it was too late to forward the corrections to Doubleday Page.
