Almayer’s Folly & The Rover

From the rain forests of Almayer’s Folly to the Mediterranean

coast of The Rover, Conrad’s first and final completed novels

are played out against contrasting backgrounds. Almayer, in

Borneo, is hopelessly obsessed by his deluded dreams for

himself and his daughter, which take no account of her falling

in love with a handsome Balinese prince.

Peyrol, the rover, returns to a France at war and finds the

actions of those around him still overborne by memories of

revolutionary terror. For the orphaned Lieutenant Réal and

Arlette love offers release but their romance

seems doomed by the demands of his naval duties.

Conrad’s acute understanding of human psychology and its

application across racial and ideological divides is the

life-force of both stories.
