A Set of Six by Joseph Conrad
"A Set of Six" by Joseph Conrad is a collection of short fiction published in 1908. Unlike Conrad's earlier psychological explorations, these six stories prioritize action and entertainment over analysis. Set in diverse locations and featuring incidents ranging from duels to anarchists, the collection marks a departure from Conrad's autobiographical work. Written explicitly to "raise money quickly," these tales emphasize dramatic incident, love, and humor—elements Conrad believed essential for popular fiction—while largely
abandoning the moral conflicts that defined his previous short stories. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
