With J. M. Dent & Sons 1925 Autumn List pamphlet laid-in. Overall, a very pleasing copy. Suspense takes place in early 1815, during the uncertain days of Napoleon's exile on Elba. Cosmo Latham, an Englishman, comes to Genoa amidst its conspiratorial atmosphere, and falls in love with the daughter of an old family friend, now trapped in an unhappy marriage. Conrad wrote nearly 90,000 words of the novel before passing away on August 3rd, 1924. In his introduction, Richard Curle writes, "...perhaps [the book's] very incompleteness adds to the sense of mystery which enshrouds its pages, giving to this mighty fragment a more august significance than could be found in the pellucid beauty of a finished work of art."
