The Inheritors
The Inheritors: An Extravagant Story.
A quasi-science fiction novel.
This novel was conceived in the heated and controversial politics of Britain at the turn of the century. Arthur Granger, an aristocratic and unsuccessful novelist, betrays the ideals he prides himself on for the unrequited love of a young woman. And no ordinary woman, she, but an ethereal, goddess-like, nameless agent from a strange world.

Joseph Conrad
Joseph Conrad (born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, 1857–1924) was a Polish-born British novelist, who became a British subject in 1886.
Joseph Conrad was a master prose stylist who brought a distinctly non-English tragic sensibility into English literature. While some of his works have a strain of romanticism, he is viewed as a precursor of modernist literature. His narrative style and anti-heroic characters have influenced many authors.
