Book Description
HEART OF DARKNESS * AN OUTPOST OF PROGRESS * KARAIN * YOUTH The finest of all Conrad's tales, 'Heart of Darkness' is set in an atmosphere of mystery and menace, and tells of Marlow's perilous journey up the Congo River to relieve his employer's agent, the renowned and formidable Mr Kurtz.

Endlessly reinterpreted by critics and adapted for film, radio, and television, the story shows Conrad at his most intense and sophisticated. The other three tales in this volume depict corruption and obsession, and question racial assumptions. Set in the exotic surroundings of Africa, Malaysia. and the east, they variously appraise the glamour, folly, and rapacity of imperial adventure.

Youth - Heart of Darkness - The End of the Tether
Author: Joseph Conrad
Publisher: Read Books Ltd
ISBN: 1528760352
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
This vintage book contains three short stories written by Joseph Conrad. These stories do not share the same narrative, but do share a theme: the stages of life. 'Youth' focuses on a young man’s first sea-voyage to the East; 'Heart of Darkness' concerns a particularly unenlightened maturity; and 'The end of the Tether' deals with the old age of an ex-military man. Conrad's masterful writing has influenced many important twentieth-century writers and artists, including T. S. Eliot, Jorge Luis Borges, and Werner Herzog. This text is highly recommended for fans of Conrad’s seminal work, and it would make for a worthy addition to any collection. This antiquarian volume is being republished now in an affordable, modern edition - complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.

Author: Joseph Conrad
Publisher: IndyPublish.com
ISBN: 9781437834703
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
Conrad was a Polish-born English novelist. His success is even more amazing since he did not learn to speak English until he was in his 20's. Conrad's narrative style places him at the beginning of the Modernist period of literature. Holger Nstedt states that" In this story, Conrad portrays an old man's existential crisis and transformation and to do so, as in all of his sea stories, he makes use of the anthropological concept of initiation." Marlow, the second mate on the steamer, dreams of seeing Bangkok. Based on Conrad's first Asian voyage. Captain Whalley buys a share in the vessel and commands the voyage. Conflict arises between Whalley's elevated actions and the antisocial behavior of the ship owner.
