Romance (Joseph Conrad, Ford Madox Hueffer)

This is a story about the adventures of the youth of the regency from the lower reaches of the British nobility in the harsh and capricious world of the Caribbean Sea, complete with pirates, romance and daring Spanish girls, as well as a few last minute escapes – the clichés of romantic fantasies about adventures. There are several excerpts from Conrad’s beautiful memories. At that time, slavery was the basis of the Caribbean economy, and the hero for some time is the head of the slave-owning plantation.
