lmayer's Folly, Joseph Conrad's earliest book, is both a chronicle of personal sorrow and a wider meditation on the ills of colonialism. Set against the backdrop of the dense jungle of Borneo in the late 19th century, it recounts the story of Dutch businessman Kaspar Almayer, a white European married to a local Malayan, whose hopes of wealth and fortune for his cherished daughter, Nina, are shattered as a result of his own prejudices and greed.
