Not posting it for points in edginess, it's just genuinely a beautiful collection of stories.

Not sure who the artist is but Penguin re-released a bunch of Conrad classics with a similar art style for their covers. I love this.

It took me a while to get a copy of this, no bookstores seem to stock it and I initially thought it was due to the provocative title (albeit, it wouldn't have been seen as provocative at its time of publishing). I began to read it and I just felt very uncomfortable. Don't get me wrong, it's beautifully written and I don't necessarily think it's a racist book, but some of the depictions of black people would certainly cause controversy if this was published today. Good collection of short stories but should be understandable why it would make someone uncomfortable. Wouldn't read it in public/10.
