The Nature of a Crime
About this audiobook
A psychological confession wrapped in love, guilt, and existential dread.
The Nature of a Crime is a haunting literary collaboration between Joseph Conrad and Ford Madox Ford, exploring the dark undercurrents of human morality and the elusive boundaries between crime and conscience. Told through a series of deeply personal letters, the narrative reveals a man on the verge of emotional and ethical collapse as he reflects on a hidden past, his relationship with a mysterious woman, and the consequences of his actions.
Set in the early 20th century, this brief but emotionally powerful novel moves through themes of identity, secrecy, and societal constraint, ultimately raising the question: is the true crime an external act—or an inner betrayal? With eloquent prose and philosophical depth, The Nature of a Crime offers a moving meditation on human frailty and the burden of self-judgment.
