Victory (also published as Victory: An Island Tale) is a psychological novel by Joseph Conrad first published in 1915,[1] through which Conrad achieved "popular success."[2]
The novel's "most striking formal characteristic is its shifting narrative and temporal perspective"[3] with the first section from the viewpoint of a sailor, the second from omniscient perspective of Axel Heyst, the third from an interior perspective from Heyst, and the final section has an omniscient narrator.[4]
It has been adapted into film a number of times.
