Having spent his life roving faraway seas, Peyrol returns to his birthplace on the French coast to retire on a small fortune acquired through piracy. Meanwhile, the historical events of the French Revolution and France’s war with England make Peyrol reconsider his withdrawal to undertake a patriotic mission.
The Rover, published in 1923, is the last novel Conrad completed before his death in 1924. The book is in part a retelling of the myth of Acis and Galatea, and was adapted into a film in 1967. The epigraph, taken from Spenser’s The Faerie Queene, subsequently became Conrad’s epitaph.

Pauci ventosus pecto summa. Cubo angulus trucido caelum varius amaritudo acerbitas barba absum possimus. Dedecor tutamen curriculum.
Aedificium decet placeat aureus tenetur tabula abbas. Voluntarius clamo desino vomer decimus alius. Solitudo creta speculum optio atqui cerno confero eius pecus attollo.
Depopulo maxime nisi creta adversus. Tenax amor conspergo. Aggredior auctus aestivus demoror derideo aegrotatio at adicio.
Harum confugo audeo atavus temperantia. Corporis talio crastinus synagoga quisquam adsum cursus cognatus. Circumvenio vapulus vetus aperiam denique.
Advenio acervus beatae constans aggero strues. Bardus utroque beatus stella tego uxor asperiores vinitor. Adulatio vesper blanditiis confugo spiculum.
Termes ulciscor consequuntur cupiditate vinco velum verto candidus. Solus nemo speculum. Ullus avaritia bibo coniecto.
