"Romance" (1903) is a novel by Ford Madox Ford and Joseph Conrad, a rare collaboration between two of the greatest English language novelists of the 20th century. The book showcases the strengths of both authors, weaving a captivating tale of adventure, misfortune, and political intrigue.
Adapted into the lost silent film "The Road to Romance" (1927), "Romance" remains a highly entertaining and largely forgotten work of English fiction. The novel's opening line, "What are these days to me? But that far-off day of my romance, when from between the blue and white bales in Don Ramon's darkened storeroom, at Kingston, I saw the door open before the figure of an old man with the tired, long, white face, that day I am not likely to forget," sets the stage for an unforgettable journey.
John Kemp, forced to flee his native England after being accused of smuggling, joins his cousin Carlos in Jamaica. However, he grows wary of their comrade Castro, a shadowy figure who poses a danger to Kemp's anonymity. Setting out on his own, Kemp crosses paths with OBrien, a notorious Irish nationalist who sees in Kemp an easy target for manipulation. Once again on the run for his life, Kemp searches for his cousin, only to find him on his deathbed. Left with no choice, he joins forces with Castro and the local beauty Serafina, who prove to be the greatest of friends.
"Romance" is an eminently entertaining swashbuckling adventure that will captivate fans of Conrad and Ford, as well as anyone seeking to escape into a world of unending romance. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Joseph Conrad and Ford Madox Ford's "Romance" is a classic work of British literature reimagined for modern readers.
