Nostromo: Uma História da Beira-Mar

I'm curious about the real-world influences behind the setting and how Conrad's own experiences shaped this vivid backdrop.

I loved the detailed character studies, but I found myself zoning out during some of the lengthy speeches. Was that intentional or just me?

His complex motivations made me wonder whether he's a hero, a villain, or something in between. What do others think about his character arc?
