Conrad Joseph; Jahier P. (cur.) Title : Racconti di mare e di costa
Author: Conrad Joseph; Jahier P. (cur.)
Publisher: Bompiani

'Racconti di mare e di costa' è un'opera che appartiene ormai al periodo della piena maturità artistica di Conrad. Dei tre racconti del volume, tutti ambientati nell'Oceano Indiano, 'Il coinquilino segreto' e 'Freya delle sette isole', sono sviluppi fantastici di fatti di cronaca marinaresca effettivamente avvenuti, che aveano impressionato molto Conrad. Non diversamente da altre opere anche qui rimane la prima persona e la colorita ambientazione delle cose vissute, ma con l'aggiunta di uno stile più levigato, secondo quanto ebbe a dire lo stesso Conrad a proposito del 'Coinquilino segreto' nella corrispondenza riportata alla fine del volume.

Conrad Joseph Title : Tifone
Author: Conrad Joseph
Publisher: Einaudi

«Di tempeste ne aveva incontrate, naturalmente. Era stato bagnato fino all'osso, sbattuto, travagliato... Ma non aveva mai intravisto la forza incommensurabile e la collera smodata, la collera che passa e si esaurisce senza mai placarsi - la collera e la furia del mare irritato. Egli sapeva che ciò esiste, come sappiamo che esiste il delitto e l'odio; ne aveva udito parlare come un pacifico cittadino sente di battaglie, carestie, inondazioni, senza che ne conosca il significato... Il capitano MacWhirr aveva navigato sulla distesa degli oceani cosí come tanti uomini scivolano sugli anni dell'esistenza per scendere dolcemente in una placida tomba...» (Dal libro)

Conrad Joseph, Gordimer Nadine (INT), Mallios Peter Lancelot (EDT) Title : Almayer's Folly
Author: Conrad Joseph, Gordimer Nadine (INT), Mallios Peter Lancelot (EDT)
Publisher: Modern Library

Almayer's Folly, Joseph Conrad's first novel, is a tale of personal tragedy as well as a broader meditation on the evils of colonialism. Set in the lush jungle of Borneo in the late 1800s, it tells of the Dutch merchant Kaspar Almayer, whose dreams of riches for his beloved daughter, Nina, collapse under the weight of his own greed and prejudice. Nadine Gordimer writes in her Introduction, “Conrad's writing is lifelong questioning . . . What was 'Almayer's Folly'? The pretentious house never lived in? His obsession with gold? His obsessive love for his daughter, whose progenitors, the Malay race, he despised? All three?” Conrad established in Almayer's Folly the themes of betrayal, isolation, and colonialism that he would explore throughout the rest of his life and work.

Conrad Joseph; Jahier P. (cur.) Title : Racconti di mare e di costa
Author: Conrad Joseph; Jahier P. (cur.)
Publisher: Einaudi

'C'è in Conrad un esotismo, un predilezione per determinati luoghi insoliti e lontani che non ha nulla del capriccio. Qui siamo fuori dalla scelta pittoresca, sempre tesa alla caccia di nuovi superficiali angoli di visione. Qui lo sfondo ha l'ossessività di un'atmosfera quotidiana e così intensa e inevitabile è la presenza di questo 'altrove', di questa memoria, che ci pare in sostanza di muoversi nella cerchia incantata di un simbolo, di un mito. Il Mare del Sud è veramente per Conrad il luogo dell'anima.' (Dalla nota introduttiva di Cesare Pavese)

Conrad Joseph, Kaplan Robert D. (INT) Title : Lord Jim & Nostromo
Author: Conrad Joseph, Kaplan Robert D. (INT)
Publisher: Random House Inc

WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY ROBERT D. KAPLAN
COMMENTARY BY VIRGINIA WOOLF, HAROLD BLOOM, EDWARD SAID,
F. R. LEAVIS, AND ROBERT PENN WARREN

'        Never were Mr. Conrad's felicity of phrase and charm of atmosphere more obvious. . . . A book of the rare literary quality of Lord Jim is something to receive with gratitude and joy.'--The New York Times

Originally published in 1900, Lord Jim is one of Joseph Conrad's most complex literary masterpieces. The story of a young sailor whose moment of cowardice haunts him for the rest of his life, Lord Jim explores Conrad's lifelong obsessions with the nature of guilt and the possibility of redemption.
        Nostromo is considered by many to be Conrad's supreme achievement, and Conrad himself referred to Nostromo as his 'widest canvas.' Set in the fictitious South American republic of Costaguana, Nostromo reveals the effects that misguided idealism, unparalleled greed, and imperialist interests can have on a fledging nation. V. S. Pritchett wrote: 'Nostromo is the most strikingly modern of Conrad's novels. It is pervaded by a profound, even morbid sense of insecurity which is the very spirit of our age.'
        Robert D. Kaplan's Introduction explains why the two novels together form Conrad's darkest glimpse into the flawed nature of humankind.

JOSEPH CONRAD (1857-1924) grew up amid political unrest in Russian-occupied Poland. After twenty years at sea in the French and British merchant navies, he settled in England in 1894. Over the next three decades, he revolutionized the English novel with works such as Youth (1902), Heart of Darkness (1902), Typhoon (1903), The Secret Agent (1907), Under Western Eyes (1911), Chance (1913), and Victory (1915).

ROBERT D. KAPLAN is a correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly and the author of seven books of travel and foreign affairs that have been translated into a dozen languages, including Balkan Ghosts, The Ends of the Earth, and An Empire Wilderness, all bestsellers, and a collection of essays, The Coming Anarchy. He lectures frequently to the U.S. military.

Conrad Joseph, Phillips Caryl (INT) Title : Heart of Darkness & Selections from the Congo Diary
Author: Conrad Joseph, Phillips Caryl (INT)
Publisher: Modern Library

Introduction by Caryl Phillips
Commentary by H. L. Mencken, E. M. Forster, Virginia Woolf, Ernest Hemingway, Bertrand Russell, Lionel Trilling, Chinua Achebe, and Philip Gourevitch


Originally published in 1902, Heart of Darkness remains one of this century’s most enduring works of fiction. Written several years after Joseph Conrad’s grueling sojourn in the Belgian Congo, the novel is a complex meditation on colonialism, evil, and the thin line between civilization and barbarity. This edition contains selections from Conrad’s Congo Diary of 1890—the first notes, in effect, for the novel, which was composed at the end of that decade. Virginia Woolf wrote of Conrad: “His books are full of moments of vision. They light up a whole character in a flash. . . . He could not write badly, one feels, to save his life.”

Conrad Joseph Title : Heart of Darkness
Author: Conrad Joseph
Publisher: Penguin Group USA

A masterpiece of twentieth-century writing, Heart of Darkness exposes the tenuous fabric that holds 'civilization' together and the brutal horror at the center of European colonialism. Conrad's crowning achievement recounts Marlow's physical and psychological journey deep into the heart of the Belgian Congo in search of the mysterious trader Kurtz.

The natives seem unhappy. Some are even violent! Why don't they appreciate how much we've done for them? Ungrateful welfare leeches, I say!

Conrad Joseph Title : Vittoria. Un racconto delle isole
Author: Conrad Joseph
Publisher: Einaudi

Un romanzo di avventura e di destino nei mari del Sud, che è anche una sottile indagine sulle violenze segrete e sulle ambiguità del rapporto amoroso. Romanzo di un destino ineluttabile ha le apparenze del racconto di avventure a tinte forti, ma è anche una sottile indagine psicologica sui sentimenti. In questa 'zona d'ombra' della sensibilità, Conrad appare particolarmente vicino al lettore di oggi: là dove descrive l'amore che degenera e si corrompe in un tormento, tanto per chi ama come per chi vorrebbe, ma non sa più amare.

Conrad Joseph Title : Il Titanic
Author: Conrad Joseph
Publisher: Passigli

I due articoli qui riuniti furono scritti da Joseph Conrad all'indomani della tragedia del Titanic, affondato nelle acque dell'Atlantico settentrionale il 15 aprile 1912, a seguito di una collisione con un iceberg. Il disastro costò la vita a 1.520 persone, tra passeggeri e membri dell'equipaggio. Da profondo conoscitore del mare e delle sue leggi, Joseph Conrad si interroga in queste pagine sulle cause di quella tragedia, tutte intrinseche a suo avviso già nell'intento spudoratamente commerciale dell'operazione, e la riflessione si allarga così al senso e al valore del progresso umano.

Conrad Joseph Title : Victory
Author: Conrad Joseph
Publisher: Everymans Library

Set in the islands of the Malay Archipelago, Victory tells the story of a disillusioned Swede, Axel Heyst, who rescues Lena, a young English musician, from the clutches of a brutish German hotel owner. Seeking refuge at Heyst's remote island retreat on Samburan, the couple is soon besieged by three villains dispatched by the enraged hotelier. The arrival on the island paradise of this trio of fiends sets off a terrifying series of events that ultimately ends in catastrophe.

“With Victory, Conrad inaugurated a new style and aesthetic,” writes Peter Lancelot Mallios in his Introduction. “The tremendous literary sophistication to be found in Victory does not result in the exclusion of the popular reader.”

The text of this Modern Library Paperback Classic was set from the first British edition, published by Methuen & Co. in 1915.
