The nature of a crime by Joseph Conrad and Ford Madox Ford
"The Nature of a Crime" by Joseph Conrad and Ford Madox Ford is a collaborative novel written and published in 1909. Told through a series of letters, the story follows an unnamed lawyer who has gambled away his client's trust fund. As imprisonment looms, he confesses his forbidden love for a married woman while wrestling with despair and contemplating suicide. The narrator's internal struggle explores themes of guilt, redemption, and whether life
retains meaning when stripped of hope and freedom. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
