Joseph Conrad was a Polish-British writer regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. A Set of Six contains six stories including Gas par Ruiz, an enthralling novel of inspirational rise from obscurity to light and The Duel, both satiric and deeply sad tale about two officers in Napoleon's Grand Army who, under a futile pretext, fought an on-going series of duels throughout the Napoleonic Wars.
