Joseph Conrad (1857–1924, real name Józef Theodor Konrad Kożenowski) was born in Berdychiv, the former Podolsk Province. A Pole by birth, he was recognized as a classic of English literature. Author of fascinating novels about sea adventures. The collection includes selected works written in different years of the writer's work: "Freya from the Seven Islands", "Outpost of Progress", "Lagoon" and "Tomorrow". Freya is the only daughter of Nelson, the owner of a small island from a small group of islands called the Seven Islands. In addition to beauty and sharp wit, she was balanced and prudent. Freya becomes the object of attention of the Dutch officer Khimskirk and the English skipper Jasper Allen. However, he prefers the skipper, for which Khimskirk takes revenge: he detains Allen's brig and deliberately leads the ship to the reef, where he dies. Jasper, on the other hand, loved only Brig and Frey the most in the world, and the question was which of them he loved more. Earlier, Folio Publishing House published a collection of Conrad's works "Olmeir's Whim", the novel "The End of Captivity" and the novel "Liberation" in the series "Foreign Author's Collections".
