Joseph Conrad's novel Almayer's Folly is published in London by T. Fisher Unwin, as Conrad's first published work, after retirement from his career at sea. It marks the first appearance of his pseudonym.
"Almayer’s Folly" sets the stage for Conrad's exploration of isolation and moral ambiguity, themes he would continue to explore in later works such as "Heart of Darkness" and "Lord Jim."
