First line

There is, as every schoolboy knows in this scientific age, a very close chemical relation between coal and diamonds.

Publisher's note

Victory was the last of Conrad's novels to be set in the Malay Archipelago. It tells the story of Axel Heyst who, damaged by his dead father's nihilistic philosophy, has retreated from the world of commerce and colonial exploration to live alone on the island of Samburan. But Heyst's solitary existence ends when he rescues an English girl from her rapacious patron and brings her back to the island. She in turn recalls him to love and life, until the world breaks in on them once more with tragic consequences. In this love story Conrad created two of his psychologically most complex and compelling characters in a narrative of great erotic power.
This new edition uses the first edition text and includes a new chronology and bibliography.

Annotation

Conrad sets his novel VICTORY, which he wrote in 1915, in the Malay Archipelago--the setting for LORD JIM (1900). In VICTORY, a baron and former exile named Axel Heyst becomes involved with a woman named Lena, a traveling violinist; however, one of Lena's former lovers finds the couple on their isolated island, and the story culminates in a deadly duel.
