Victory (also published as Victory: An Island Tale) is a psychological novel by Joseph Conrad first published in 1915, through which Conrad achieved popular success. The New York Times, however, called it an uneven book and more open to criticism than most of Mr. Conrad’s best work.

The novel’s most striking formal characteristic is its shifting narrative and temporal perspective 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.

It has been adapted into film a number of times. (wikipedia.org)
