It is available in the [[public domain]],<ref>https://www.gutenberg.org/files/219/219-h/219-h.htm</ref> and is required reading for many high school students. English was not Conrad's first language, and he had some odd linguistic habits such as using a high number of words ending in "-less".<ref>http://www.academypublication.com/issues/past/tpls/vol03/03/08.pdf</ref>
