hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Neil Gower (illustrator). First Edition. Conrad's Congo: Joseph Conrad's Expedition to the Congo Free State, 1890, Joseph Conrad (Ed. J. H. Stape) â" First Folio Society Edition Publication: London, The Folio Society, 2013 Formatting: Royal 8vo, pp. xxxiv, 217. Condition Report: Fine. A superb, evidently unread copy of this handsome production. The green cloth binding is tightly bound and perfectly square, boasting crisp corners and completely unblemished, vibrant pictorial blocking to both the front board and the spine. Internally, the text block is immaculate, with bright, crisp Abbey Wove pages entirely free of foxing, thumbing, or handling wear. The endpapers and internal hinges remain perfectly sound. The volume is accompanied by its original black paper-covered slipcase, which presents in Very Good condition; it remains structurally excellent but displays minor trace shelf-wear and light superficial scuffing to the exterior panels. Catalogue Note: First Folio Society Edition. Uniquely compiled for The Folio Society, this handsome volume brings together the foundational texts and personal correspondence from Conrad's infamous 1890 journey. The text is richly illustrated with a frontispiece portrait of Joseph Conrad alongside 16 pages of sepia and black-and-white plates drawn from the archives at the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Tervuren. The edition is further enhanced by attractive endpaper maps charting his journey and a striking binding design by artist Neil Gower. While an enduringly popular and accessible title on the secondary market, copies in such immaculate, unread condition remain highly desirable for collectors of Conrad's work and Folio Society publications alike. In 1890, fulfilling a childhood dream, Joseph Conrad travelled to Central Africa to captain a paddle-steamer on the Congo River. However, he soon discovered the brutal, harrowing reality of the colonial enterprise, famously describing it as "the vilest scramble for loot that ever disfigured the history of human conscience." This formative journey served as the primary genesis for his literary masterpiece, Heart of Darkness. Uniquely collating his personal ship's log ('The Up-river Book'), his profound 'Congo Diary', private letters to family and friends, and the striking short story 'An Outpost of Progress', this compilation provides an intimate, unfiltered glimpse into the very experiences that forged the worldview of one of literature's greatest writers.
