Complete and unabridged edition.

The Inheritors: An Extravagant Story (1901) is a quasi-science fiction novel by Joseph Conrad. It looks at society's mental evolution and what is gained and lost in the process. Written before the first World War, its themes of corruption and the effect of the 20th Century on British aristocracy appeared to predict history. It was first published in London by William Heinemann and later the same year in New York by McClure, Phillips and Company. Description from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
