These five stories were collected and published as Tales of Unrest in 1898, shortly before Heart of Darkness, the first of Conradâs major novels. Ranging from the faraway and unfamiliar, where the acquisitiveness of colonial adventure is damningly exposed, to an ostensibly ordinary London household, these disparate tales display Conradâs ability to explore and lay bare human nature.Set in Central Africa, âAn Outpost of Progressâ is suffused with irony and represents a ruthlessly mocking view of European imperialism. âKarainâ and âThe Lagoonâ are exotic tales of the Malay Archipelago, with the former telling of disharmony and discord between Western traders and the indigenous inhabitants. âThe Returnâ recounts the story of, in the authorâs own words, âa desirable middle-class town residence which somehow manages to produce a sinister effectâ. The collection also includes âThe Idiotsâ, the first of Conradâs short stories to be serialized in an English magazine.
