In Nostromo, Conrad paints in shocking detail the insidious effects of greed and exploitation. When the silver mines of the South American republic of Costaguana are threatened by rebel forces, a brave captain, Nostromo, steps in and offers to bury the silver to ensure its safety. Conrad uses the violence of Latin American politics to focus his pessimistic vision on the tragic and brutal essence of human nature itself. 4 cassettes.

Webster's paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings in English courses. By using a running English-to-Croatian thesaurus at the bottom of each page, this edition of Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy was edited for three audiences. The first includes Croatian-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL� or TOEIC� preparation program. The second audience includes English-speaking students enrolled in bilingual education programs or Croatian speakers enrolled in English-speaking schools. The third audience consists of students who are actively building their vocabularies in Croatian in order to take foreign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement� (AP�) or similar examinations. By using the Webster's Croatian Thesaurus Edition when assigned for an English course, the reader can enrich their vocabulary in anticipation of an examination in Croatian or English.<br>TOEFL�, TOEIC�, AP� and Advanced Placement� are trademarks of the Educational Testing Service which has neither reviewed nor endorsed this book.
