Almayer's Folly (version 2). By Joseph Conrad FULL Audiobook • Here's a detailed summary of Almayer's Folly by Joseph Conrad: • Set in the lush jungle of Borneo during the late 1800s, Almayer's Folly revolves around the Dutch merchant Kaspar Almayer. Almayer dreams of amassing great wealth for his beloved daughter, Nina, but his ambitions are tainted by his own greed and prejudice. • 1. Background and Characters: • Almayer marries Lingard’s adopted Malay daughter, inheriting the prosperous merchant’s business and plans for accumulating a fortune from gold mines along the Pantai River. • Nina, their daughter, was educated as a European in Singapore for ten years. She returns to Sambir, unable to bear the treatment she receives as a half-caste in the white community. • 2. Almayer's Ambitions and Failures: • Almayer hopes to find a hidden gold mine, envisioning a prosperous retirement in Amsterdam with Nina. • News of the English seizing control of the Pantai River prompts Almayer to build an impressive house to receive the British. However, when the Dutch retain nominal power, the project is abandoned, and the house becomes known as Almayer's Folly. • Almayer's business ventures fail, and he spends his days daydreaming on a decaying wharf. His native wife despises him. • 3. Nina and Dain Maroola: • Nina attracts attention from the young men in Sambir. • Dain Maroola, the handsome son of a Malayan rajah, arrives to trade with Almayer. He falls passionately in love with Nina. • Mrs. Almayer, Nina's mother, arranges secret meetings between Nina and Dain, who wishes her to remain native. Mrs. Almayer distrusts white men. • 4. Dain's Return and Lakamba's Plot: • Dain returns, promising to help Almayer locate the hidden gold mine. • Lakamba, the native rajah, fears Almayer might reveal the mine's location to the white men. He orders Babalatchi to poison Almayer. • Dain informs Lakamba that his brig fell into Dutch hands, and he narrowly escaped. Lakamba decides to eliminate Almayer. • 5. Almayer's Demise: • The next morning, a Malay corpse wearing an anklet and a ring belonging to Dain is found floating in the river. • Almayer's usefulness ends now that Dain knows the gold mine's location. • Lakamba's plot succeeds, and Almayer meets his tragic end. • Almayer's Folly explores themes of colonialism, cultural clash, and personal ambition against the backdrop of the exotic Bornean jungle. Conrad masterfully weaves a tale of human folly, unfulfilled dreams, and the clash between European and indigenous worlds. • For more information, you can explore the book .. • More: Almayer, Folly, Joseph Conrad • Audiobook, Adventure, Colonialism • Jungle, Malaysia, Dutch East Indies • River, Trader, Lost Dreams • Cultural Clash, Isolation, Betrayal • • 00:00:00 Chapter 1 • 00:32:31 Chapter 2 • 00:57:18 Chapter 3 • 01:24:17 Chapter 4 • 01:46:23 Chapter 5 • 02:14:47 Chapter 6 • 02:40:10 Chapter 7 • 03:11:50 Chapter 8 • 03:46:53 Chapter 9 • 04:21:34 Chapter 10 • 04:54:37 Chapter 11 • 05:33:39 Chapter 12
