Hello , I am new member in the site I am very happy to join u. I am working an MA thesis on Conrad's Nostromo and if any one is interested in discussing this book I would be the most pleased.

Nostromo was a great movie and one of my favorite Colin Firth vehicles, if this is the Nostromo to which you are referring, Yacine.

Unfortunately, I have never read anything by Joseph Conrad. I really should buy one of his books and read it. I think I'll start with Lord Jim or Heart Of Darkness though...

Definitely a good choice for initiation into Conrad. Nostromo is long and pretty convoluted. Lord Jim was my initiation into his work and I liked it enough to read others.

Yacine, have you seen the movie? How does it compare with the book? I usually hate movies of books I love, but I enjoyed this one. Perhaps the actor was an influence on that!
