Further to Mandy314's comments, with which I concur, another thing that impresses me about Conrad's books (including Nostromo, of course) is the beautiful clear prose with no sense of pretentiousness or of having been over worked.

English was Conrad's second language and he did not learn that until he was an adult; I've often wondered if that is what has contributed to his clear and clean writing.
