Joseph Conrad
Joseph Conrad — 3 titles in the rankings, first published between 1899 and 1907. They average 7.3, below the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages.
Editor’s note Heart of Darkness, Marlow’s account of a journey up the Congo River to find the ivory trader Kurtz, is by far his most read book but rates low here: its prose is dense, and its portrayal of Africans, criticised by Chinua Achebe in 1975, remains contested. Lord Jim, about a young officer haunted by one act of cowardice, rates highest; The Secret Agent, a London bomb plot, is in between.
