The Annotated Nostromo

The complete text of Joseph Conrad's Nostromo, with my annotations.

Scroll down for a key to the annotation types.

Warning to first-time readers!
Because the annotations discuss the novel as a whole, they contain spoilers that reveal crucial plot points in advance. For that reason I highly recommend that people who have never read Nostromo read it for the first time elsewhere.
