Overview
There are few men who can truly be described as titans of literature. Joseph Conrad is one of them. From humble beginnings as the son of a dissident in Poland, to a life of adventure on the far corners of the globe, to at last a dignified position as an elder statesman of the English literary community, Conrad’s personal story is as engaging as his writing.
It seems both Conrad’s life and his writing have sadly fallen from the public eye today. Conrad was, rightly, the most talked-about writer on the planet for decades during and after his life. His incredible stories and the characters in them captured the human condition with a degree technical and artistic perfection often imitated but never full captured again.
This volume provides an introduction to Conrad’s work for a new generation of readers. Inside are five of Conrad’s best and most well-known stories, including Typhoon, The Secret Sharer, and Heart of Darkness, that offer a brief look into the world of Conrad. For casual and dedicated readers alike, Conrad’s writing is insightful, entertaining, challenging, and, above all, unforgettable.
