Books by Joseph Conrad

Portrait of Joseph Conrad

Joseph Conrad, one of the most influential novelists of the early twentieth century, is celebrated for his profound explorations of moral conflict, isolation, and the limits of human endurance. Born in Poland and writing in his adopted English, his prose combines psychological depth with the rhythms of the sea, reflecting his years as a merchant sailor.

His works, including *Heart of Darkness*, *Lord Jim*, and *Nostromo*, reveal a master storyteller who examined empire, conscience, and the shifting boundaries between civilisation and savagery. Conrad's narratives remain enduring touchstones of modern literature, admired for their intensity, linguistic precision, and timeless insight into the human condition.

    Book SynopsisPOR PRIMERA VEZ EN ESPAÑOL LA ÚLTIMA NOVELA DE JOSEPH CONRADEl fascinante atractivo de "Suspense" es que refleja de manera apasionante un mundo a la espera, un mundo a las puertas de algo, un mundo aún por venir. (Mercedes Monmany - ABCD)Suspense es la última novela en la que trabajaba Joseph Conrad, antes de morir en 1924. En ella aborda uno de los temas que le apasionaron a lo largo de su vida, la Revolución Francesa, y lo hace a través de Cosmo Latham, un joven inglés que viaja a Génova mientras Napoleón está exiliado en la isla de Elba. Allí se verá inmerso en un ambiente perturbador de conspiradores, diplomáticos y espías que gravitan en torno a la presencia fantasmagórica del emperador recluido, y encontrará, también, el amor en la figura de Madame de Montevesso, una joven francesa aristocrática pero liberal casada con un militar sin escrúpulos. Novela coral donde Conrad muestra la maestría de su oficio, la precisión y la riqueza de su escritura ?consideraba que esta novela sería uno de sus mayores logros?, Suspense es una obra que hubiese podido ser maestra si la muerte repentina no le hubiese impedido acabarla.

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisSince the publication of the Cambridge edition of The Collected Letters of Joseph Conrad, the numerous letters in the nine volumes, many of them published for the first time and many more taken from hard-to-find books and journals, have had a profound influence on writing about Conrad. This selection makes the highlights available in one volume. The letters have been re-edited with shorter footnotes and an emphasis on the latest scholarship. Letters originally written in French or Polish appear only in revised English translations. Among the topics that stand out are Conrad's memories of growing up in Poland and Ukraine, his ideas about fiction, often expressed in precise but sympathetic comments on the work of his friends, the anxieties of war and revolution, his struggle to keep his integrity as a writer, and his lives as a sailor and a family man.Table of ContentsIntroduction; Letters: 1861–1893; 1894–1897; 1898–1902; 1903–1908; 1909–1913; 1914–1918; 1919–1922; 1924–1924; Conrad's correspondents.

Conrad's first short story collection evidences a writer firmly in control of his new craft staking a claim to diverse cultural and fictional territories. The introduction situates the writing of these stories in Conrad's career and discusses their sources and contemporary reception. The explanatory notes identify literary and historical references and real-life places, and indicate influences. Two maps and six illustrations enrich the explanatory matter.

Simmons and J. H.

    Book SynopsisJoseph Conrad possessed a matchless gift for embodying life as it is lived under extreme physical and psychological pressure. Victory, his last masterpiece, tells the story of Axel Heyst, a radically isolated, philosophically minded soul living apart on a remote Pacific island, who performs two acts of instinctive kindness and thereby embroils himself in storms of greed and vengeance, and of love and mercy.             When Heyst impulsively rescues a young English musician, Lena, from the predations of a lascivious hotel owner named Schomberg, he cannot know that she will be the means of releasing him from the emotional detachment with which he has long barricaded himself. Their affair does not last long, however, once the enraged Schomberg sends agents of revenge to invade Heyst’s island retreat. Out of the maelstrom of violence and tragedy that ensues, Conrad produces a profound, unflinching meditation on hu

    Book SynopsisHeart Of Darkness. The story of the civilized, enlightened Mr. Kurtz who embarks on a harrowing 'night journey' into the savage heart of Africa, only to find his dark and evil soul. The Secret Sharer. The saga of a young, inexperienced skipper forced to decide the fate of a fugitive sailor who killed a man in self-defense. As he faces his first moral test the skipper discovers a terrifying truth -- and comes face to face with the secret itself. Heart Of Darkness and The Secret Sharer draw on actual events and people that Conrad met or heard about during his many far-flung travels. In portraying men whose incredible journeys on land and at sea are also symbolic voyages into their own mysterious depths, these two masterful works give credence to Conrad's acclaim as a major psychological writer.

    Book SynopsisInspired by an attempt in 1894 to blow up London’s Greenwich Observatory, The Secret Agent is the unsurpassed original of the long tradition of espionage thrillers that explore the confused motives at the heart of terrorism. Published in 1907, Joseph Conrad’s novel was remarkably prescient, anticipating the political contours of the next century, as well as the classic spy novels of such later writers as Graham Greene and John Le Carré. Conrad’s double agent, Verloc, is a Russian spy tasked with infiltrating an anarchist group in London. His mission to discredit the ineffectual radicals and their cause goes awry, and involves his unsuspecting wife and her vulnerable younger brother in disastrous ways. In its use of powerful psychological insight to intensify narrative suspense, The Secret Agent broke new literary ground. Conrad was the first novelist to discover the strange, in-between territory of the political exile, and his genius

    Book SynopsisSin duda, Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) es uno de los grandes narradores de todos los tiempos y sus libros pueden seguir leyéndose, hoy en día, como se leerían los de un contemporáneo. Pero no deja de resultar curioso el hecho de que, como muchos otros grandes novelistas, en realidad sus libros más memorables y afortunados sean quizás los que incluyen relatos relativamente breves y no sus más largas y ambiciosas novelas. El presente volumen, que fue publicado por vez primera en 1908 bajo el título de A Set of Six, reúne seis excelentes y muy conradianas novelas cortas:Gaspar Ruiz, El delator, La bestia, Un anarquista, El duelo y El conde.Gaspar Ruiz, el relato que da nombre al conjunto, no es solo una intensa y aventurera narración ambientada en la Hispanoamérica de la primera mitad del siglo XIX, sino también la única obra que fue adaptada por el propio Conrad para el cine: Gaspar the Strong Man (1920).
