Notes

In the fictional republic of Costaguana instability and revolution are the norm. When Charles Goulds silver mine becomes a catalyst for violence, he fears his wealth will be taken by his enemies. Charging Nostromosaid to be incorruptiblewith the task of selling the silver offshore, Gould no longer fears for the fate of his wealth; however, as Nostromos own desire for power and fame strengthens, corruption seems the inevitable end.
Through a series of flashbacks and flashforwards, Nostromo explores capitalism, rebellion, and the power of wealth in swaying the actions of men.
