The young narrator of The Arrow of Gold , a British seaman called Monsieur George, finds himself in Marseilles, France, in the 1870s during the time of the Third Carlist War. Supporters of the pretender are smuggling arms into Spain, and the narrator soon becomes entangled in this undercover plot. His benefactor is the mysterious Doña Rita, and their relationship is the plot's focal point. The Arrow of Gold was published as a book in 1919 and serialized between 1918 and 1920. For inspiration, Conrad drew heavily on his personal experience, previously recounted in The Mirror of the Sea . One of Conrad's final novels, the book met with some criticism in comparison to his earlier works, and is now mostly remembered for its autobiographical aspects. Joseph Conrad (died 1924) was a major literary figure of the early 20th century. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. As a work of classic literary fiction, The Arrow Of Gold exemplifies the narrative craft and social insight that defined great storytelling of its era. Literary fiction of this period was characterized by careful attention to character psychology, social milieu, and the moral questions that animated public discourse.
