Nostromo - A Tale of the Seaboard (Unabridged Deluxe Edition)
Author: Joseph Conrad
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 903
Book Description
Joseph Conrad's Nostromo - A Tale of the Seaboard (Unabridged Deluxe Edition) is a masterpiece of modernist literature that delves into the themes of imperialism, corruption, and personal morality. Set in the fictional South American country of Costaguana, the novel follows the intertwined lives of various characters as they navigate the political upheaval and societal changes of the late 19th century. Conrad's intricate narrative style and vivid descriptions create a rich tapestry of characters and settings, immersing the reader in a world of adventure and intrigue. The novel's exploration of power dynamics and the human psyche makes it a timeless and thought-provoking read. Joseph Conrad, a Polish-British author and former sailor, drew on his own experiences at sea to craft Nostromo. His deep understanding of the complexities of human nature and the effects of colonization is evident in the novel's nuanced characters and intricate plot. Conrad's unique perspective and literary prowess have solidified his reputation as one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. I highly recommend Nostromo to readers who enjoy literary fiction that explores complex themes and challenges conventional narratives. Conrad's masterful storytelling and profound insights make this novel a must-read for anyone interested in the human condition and the impact of historical events on individual lives.

Pages : 598
Book Description
This carefully crafted ebook: "Heart of Darkness (Unabridged Deluxe Edition)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Heart of Darkness (1899) is a classic of world literature. The book tells a story about a voyage up the Congo River into the Congo Free State, in the heart of Africa. Marlow, the story's narrator, tells his story to friends aboard a boat anchored on the River Thames, London, England. This setting provides the frame for Marlow's story of his obsession with the ivory trader Kurtz, which enables Conrad to create a parallel between London and Africa as places of darkness. Central to Conrad's work is the idea that there is little difference between so-called civilized people and those described as savages; Heart of Darkness raises important questions about imperialism and racism. Joseph Conrad acknowledged that Heart of Darkness was in part based on his own experiences during his travels in Africa. In 1890, at the age of 32, he was appointed by a Belgian trading company to serve as the captain of a steamer on the Congo River.
