Tales of Unrest
Joseph Conrad
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
Tales of Unrest (1898) is the first collection of short stories by Joseph Conrad published in his lifetime.
Joseph Conrad (1857–1924), a Polish-born English novelist, was a master in the formats of long short story and novella, a form of story longer than conventional short story but shorter than a novel. Some of Conrad's most acclaimed works have been written in these formats, most notably Heart of Darkness (1899).
Tales of Unrest contains five stories; Karain: A Memory (written 1897; read by Jhiu), The Idiots (1896; read by Ann Boulais), An Outpost of Progress (1896; read by Kristine Bekere), The Return (1897; read by Raerity) and The Lagoon (1896; read by David Lazarus). Author's note read by Sibella Denton. (Summary by Illiterati) (7 hr 5 min)

reader of the idiots is awful, all other readers and stories good. not sure if these are pre or post heart of darkness, but you can see the similar themes and story within a story style

a for effort
Started with The Idiot. Couldn’t hang. Reader was sincerely into it but...slow down. Reader was so fast I couldn’t adjust the speed to a normal pace without distortion. Try again without the coffee. Thanks
Brilliant stories and Volunteer Readers
