The romantic adventures of John Kemp. Conrad J.

John Kemp, the son of a farmer from a deaf village in the county of Kent, having heard a heap of stories about a night horseman with his head under his arm, began to dream of life more interesting, bright, saturated. And the "happy case" was not long in coming. He threw the young man acquaintance with two colorful

personalities - a mysterious Spaniard with a pale face and his henchman, a man with a wooden hand. This couple was to bring Johnny to the light - on a large road where the true romantics of the knife and ax roam.

In the next volume of the “adventure masters”, two little -known masterpieces of Joseph Conrad - the Pirate Odyssey “The Romantic Adventures of John Kemp”, which was not reprinted in Russian for almost a whole century, and the mutual novel “Duel”, a real pearl of the cloak and sword genre.
