Under Western Eyes
Publisher Description
One of the major themes of the novella is the contrast between Conrad's characters who are imaginative men aware of the larger issues of life and conscious of the potential for disaster and the literal minded and relatively unaware Captain MacWhirr. MacWhirr is a hard working captain devoted to routine and loyal to the needs of the Nan-Shan and the interests of her owners.

Just do good
Conrad is so pure. So clear. Like watching a stream of the cleanest water ever flow by. Written before the Russian Revolution. Yet capturing a part of its essence. He is genius
