Joseph Conrad: Die Schattenlinie Lesefreundlicher Gro druck in 16-pt-Schrift Aus einer jugendlichen Laune heraus mustert ein junger Maat der britischen Handelsmarine in Singapur ab und will das Seemannsleben hinter sich lassen. Kaum von Bord gegangen lernt er den alten Kapit n Giles kennen, der ihn beinahe n tigt, ein spontanes Angebot, als Kapit n ein eigenes Kommando zu bernehmen, anzunehmen. Er willigt ein und bernimmt eine Dreimaster-Bark im Hafen von Bangkok. Als das Schiff in nicht enden wollender Flaute umhertreibt und die Mannschaft an tropischem Fieber erkrankt, st t der junge Kapit n an seine Grenzen. Joseph Conrad bernahm 1888 als 31-j hriger das Kommando der Otago im Hafen von Bangkok und geriet in gro e Schwierigkeiten auf See, die er nur mit knapper Not meistern konnte. An dieser existentiellen Erfahrung ist er - wie sein literarischer Held - zu einer verantwortungsbewussten Pers nlichkeit gereift und hat seine Schattenlinie berwunden. Anders als die vorliegenden, eher freien bertragungen bleibt Reinhard Roudeaux in seiner neuen bersetzung dieses autobiografischen Meisterwerks eng am Original und bildet dessen eigenst ndige Sprachstruktur in all ihren Nuancen werkgetreu ab.

This novel is considered Joseph Conrad's finest literary achievement. This gripping novel turns the spotlight on the political turmoil of nineteenth-century Russia and then shows the dramatic development in the life of an average student named Razumov as he prepares for his future as a craziest bureaucrat. In a plot twist, Razumov accidentally becomes entangled in progressive connivance when he gives shelter to an individual understudy who killed a public authority. Progressively enmeshed in the revolutionary's political interests, he deceives the rebel who had instilled unbridled religiosity in him. The specialists then dispatch Razumov, determined to keep an eye on the individual's sister and mom. Razumov is another interesting character from Conrad's imagination. Let's go on this journey to find out more about his faith and struggles

Typhoon portrays an account of high stakes and experience with a particularly perceptive story style, bearing Conrad's elaborate tradition of breathtaking writing. This novel contains a mystery, a thriller, an adventure, and a life lesson for all readers.

Heart of Darkness, a book by Joseph Conrad, was first published in 1899 in Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine and later in Conrad's Youth and Two Other Stories (1902). Heart of Darkness considers the terror of Western colonialism, portraying it as a peculiarity that damages not only the lands and peoples it exploits but also those in the West who advance it. Even though it initially received an uninspired reception, Conrad's semiautobiographical story has proceeded to become one of the most widely examined works of English literature. Readers have not always treated Heart of Darkness well, reproving its dehumanizing portrayal of colonized peoples and its dismissive treatment of women. Heart of Darkness, on the other hand, has endured as a Modernist masterpiece directly linked to postcolonial realities.

Joseph Conrads roman Mörkrets hjärta i nyöversättning och med efterord av Christian Ekvall. Mörkrets hjärta är en av världslitteraturens mest lästa och beundrade romaner, en evig modern klassiker. Decennium efter decennium känns den lika smärtsamt aktuell. Berättelsen är till synes enkel, det handlar om Charlie Marlow som reser uppför Kongofloden för att försöka finna den beryktade herr Kurtz. Om Kurtz sägs att han och hans mannar levererar mer elfenben än någon annan, i övrigt är allt som har med denne mystiske man att göra höljt i dunkel. Tills Marlow lyfter slöja efter slöja... ”Inte minsta lilla ljud hördes. Man såg sig häpet omkring och undrade om man var döv, sedan kom plötsligt natten och gjorde en blind dessutom. Vid tretiden på morgonen hoppade en stor fisk och åstadkom ett plask som fick mig att sätta mig upp lika snabbt som om en kanon hade avfyrats. När solen gick upp kom en vit dimma, mycket varm och klibbig och mer förblindande än natten. Den varken skingrades eller drev utan låg bara där överallt omkring oss som om den hade antagit fast form. Vid åtta eller nio lyfte den som en persienn.” Romanen om Marlows makliga färd uppför Kongo­floden allt djupare in i mörkrets hjärta känns lika sann ända in på skinnet som den är galen och absurd. Kurtz blir representanten för det oändliga vita övervåldet och allas ofrånkomliga självförbränning, ”Jag väntade på att vildmarken skulle brista ut i gapskratt som fick fixstjärnorna att skaka i sina fästen. Allting tillhörde honom, men det var inte viktigt.” Joseph Conrad (1857–1924) föddes i en ukrainsk provins i Polen av polska föräldrar. Efter att ha arbetat som sjökapten debuterade han som författare vid 38 års ålder, inte på sitt modersmål utan på engelska. Han blev en av den engelskspråkiga litteraturens stora. Mörkrets hjärta är ett av hans viktigaste verk. Boken har filmatiserats fyra gånger, den mest kända versionen är Francis Ford Coppolas Apokalypse Now från 1979 som flyttat handlingen från Kongo till Vietnam och Kambodja. Inspelningen blev av olika skäl kaotisk och präglades av samma kaos och storhetsvansinne som skulle skildras och filmen fångar på kornet den groteska ironi som genomsyrar romanen.

Romance (1903) is a novel by Ford Madox Ford and Joseph Conrad. One of just three collaborations between two of the greatest English language novelists of the twentieth century, Romance plays to the strengths of each author to weave a tale of adventure, bad luck, and political intrigue. Adapted into The Road to Romance (1927), a lost silent film, Romance remains a highly entertaining and largely forgotten work of English fiction. “What are these days to me? But that far-off day of my romance, when from between the blue and white bales in Don Ramon's darkened storeroom, at Kingston, I saw the door open before the figure of an old man with the tired, long, white face, that day I am not likely to forget.” Forced to flee his native England after being accused of smuggling, John Kemp joins his cousin Carlos in Jamaica. Soon, however, he grows wary of their comrade Castro, a shadowy figure who poses a danger to Kemp’s anonymity. Setting out on his own, he crosses paths with O’Brien, a notorious Irish nationalist who sees in Kemp an easy target for manipulation. Once again forced to flee for his life, Kemp searches for his cousin, only to find him on his deathbed. Left with no choice, he joins forces with Castro and the local beauty Serafina, who prove the greatest of friends. Eminently entertaining, this swashbuckling adventure is perfect for fans of Conrad and Ford, or for anyone looking to escape into a world of unending romance. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Joseph Conrad and Ford Madox Ford’s Romance is a classic work of British literature reimagined for modern readers.

The Children of the Sea (1897) is a novella by Joseph Conrad. The story originally appeared with a title featuring a racial slur, a subject of controversy even before Chinua Achebe published his monumental essay “An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad’s ‘Heart of Darkness.’” Often considered the first major work of Conrad’s career, The Children of the Sea is often read as an allegory on the dangers of individualism and the moral shortcomings of modern humanity. The novella is also notable for its preface, in which Conrad provides a brief-yet-stirring manifesto on the art of literature: “A work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line.” On board the Narcissus, a merchant ship bound from Bombay to London, a West Indian man by the name of James Wait lies below deck suffering from tuberculosis. Because of the sudden onset of his illness, some of the sailors believe he is faking his condition in order to avoid work. When the ship capsizes in a storm near the Cape of Good Hope, a group of brave men goes below deck to rescue Wait from near-certain death. As the weather improves enough for the Narcissus to be righted, suspicion regarding the Afro-Caribbean man’s health threatens a mutiny among the crew. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Joseph Conrad’s The Children of the Sea is a classic work of British literature reimagined for modern readers.

River steamboat captain Charles Marlow has set forth on the Congo in Africa to find the enigmatic European trader Mr. Kurtz. Preceded by his reputation as a brilliant emissary of progress, Kurtz has now established himself as a god among the natives in "one of the darkest places on earth." Marlow suspects something else of Kurtz: he has gone mad. A reflection on corruptive European colonialism and a journey into the nightmare psyche of one of the corrupted, Heart of Darkness is considered one of the most influential works ever written.
