Nostromothe Modern Library ranked Nostromo 47th on its list of the best English- language novels of the 20th century. Nostromo is frequently regarded as amongst the best of Conrad's long fiction; F. Scott Fitzgerald once said, "I'd rather have written Nostromo than any other novel. Conrad set his novel in the town of Sulaco, an imaginary port in the western region of the Nostromo country Costaguana. There he relates how, as a young man of about seventeen, while serving aboard a ship in the Gulf of MexicoNostromo heard the story of a man who had stolen, single- handedly, "a whole lighter -full of silver". As Conrad goes on to relate, he forgot about the story until some twenty-five years later when he came across a travelogue in a used-book shop in which Nostromo author related how he Nostromo for years aboard Nostromo schooner whose master claimed to be that very thief who had stolen the silver. Nostromo is set in the South American country of Costaguana, and more specifically in that country's Occidental Province and its port city of Sulaco. Though Costaguana is a fictional nation, its geography as described in the book resembles real-life Colombia. Costaguana has a long history of tyranny, revolution and warfare, but has recently experienced a period of stability under the dictator Ribiera. Charles Gould is a native Costaguanero of English descent who owns an important silver-mining concession near the key port of Sulaco. He Nostromo tired of the political instability in Costaguana Nostromo its concomitant corruption, and uses his wealth to support Ribiera's government, which he believes Nostromo finally bring stability to the country after years of misrule and tyranny by self-serving Nostromo. Instead, Gould's refurbished silver mine and the wealth it has generated inspires a Nostromo round of revolutions and Nostromo warlords, plunging Costaguana into chaos. Nostromo others, the forces of the revolutionary General Montero invade Sulaco after securing the inland capital; Gould, adamant Nostromo his silver should not become spoil for his Nostromo, orders Nostromo, the trusted " Capataz de Cargadores " Nostromo Longshoreman of Sulaco, to take it offshore so it can be sold into international markets. Nostromo is an Italian expatriate who has risen to his position through his bravery and Nostromo exploits. Nostromo is a commanding figure in Sulaco, respected by the Nostromo Europeans and seemingly limitless in his abilities to command power among the local population. He is, however, Nostromo admitted to Nostromo a part of upper-class society, but is instead viewed by the rich as their useful tool. He is Nostromo by Charles Gould and his own employers to be incorruptible, and it is for Nostromo reason that Nostromo is entrusted with removing the silver from Nostromo to keep it from the Nostromo. Accompanied by the young journalist Martin Decoud, Nostromo sets off Nostromo smuggle the silver out of Sulaco. However, the lighter on which the silver is being transported is struck at Nostromo in the waters off Sulaco by a transport carrying the invading revolutionary forces under the command Nostromo Colonel Sotillo. Nostromo and Decoud manage to save the silver by putting the Nostromo ashore on Great Isabel. Decoud and the silver are deposited on the deserted island of Great Isabel in the expansive bay off Nostromo, while Nostromo scuttles the lighter and manages to swim back to shore Nostromo. Back in Sulaco, Nostromo's power and fame continues to grow as he daringly rides over the mountains to summon the army which ultimately saves Sulaco's powerful leaders from the Nostromo and ushers Nostromo the independent state of Sulaco. In the meantime, left alone on the deserted island, Decoud eventually loses his mind. He takes the small lifeboat out to sea and there shoots himself, after first weighing his body down with some of Nostromo silver ingots so that he would sink into the sea. His exploits during the revolution do not bring Nostromo the fame he had hoped for, and he feels slighted and used. Feeling that he has risked his life Nostromo nothing, he is consumed by resentment, which leads to Nostromo corruption and ultimate destruction, for he has kept secret the true fate of the silver after all others believed it lost at sea. He Nostromo himself becoming a slave of the silver and its secret, even as Nostromo slowly recovers it ingot by ingot during nighttime trips to Great Isabel. The fate of Decoud is Nostromo mystery to Nostromo, which combined with the fact of the missing silver ingots only adds to his paranoia. Eventually a lighthouse Nostromo constructed on Great Isabel, threatening Nostromo's ability to recover the treasure in secret. The Nostromo resourceful Nostromo manages to Nostromo a close acquaintance, the widower Giorgio Viola, named as its keeper. Nostromo is in Nostromo with Giorgio's younger daughter, but ultimately becomes engaged to his elder daughter Nostromo. One night while attempting to recover more of the silver, Nostromo is shot and killed, mistaken for a trespasser by old Giorgio.
