Conrad Joseph Title : Victory
Author: Conrad Joseph
Publisher: Penguin Classics

Axel Heyst, a dreamer and a restless drifter, believes he can avoid suffering by cutting himself off from others. Then he becomes involved in the operation of a coal company on a remote island in the Malay Archipelago, and when it fails he turns his back on humanity once more. But his life alters when he rescues a young English girl, Lena, from Zangiacomo's Ladies' Orchestra and the evil innkeeper Schomberg, taking her to his island retreat. The affair between Heyst and Lena begins with her release, but the relationship shifts as Lena struggles to save Heyst from the detachment and isolation that have inhibited and influenced his life.

Marked by a violent and tragic conclusion, Victory is both a tale of rescue and adventure and a perceptive study of a complex relationship and of the power of love.

Conrad Joseph, Lyon John (EDT) Title : Youth, Heart of Darkness, the End of the Tether
Author: Conrad Joseph, Lyon John (EDT)
Publisher: Penguin Classics

Conrad's aim was 'by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel . . . before all, to make you see' Heart of Darkness, his exploration of European colonialism in Africa and of elusive human values, embodies more profoundly than almost any other modern fiction the difficulty of 'seeing,' its relativity and shifting compromise. Portraying a young man's first sea-voyage to the East in Youth, an unenlightened maturity in Heart of Darkness, and the blind old age of Captain Whalley in The End of the Tether, the stories in this volume are united in their theme - the 'Ages of Man' - and in their scepticism. Conrad's vision has influenced twentieth-century writers and artists from T. S. Eliot to Jorge Luis Borges and Werner Herzog, and continues to draw critical fire. In his stimulating introduction John Lyon discusses the links between these three stories, the critiques of Chinua Achebe and Edward Said, and the ebb and flow of Conrad's magnificent narrative art.


@JungleFever Heading down to Africa on a boat. Too hot! I get the creeping sense this job isn't going to be as cushy as they made it sound.

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 : Lord Jim
Author: Conrad Joseph
Publisher: Bantam Classic & Loveswept

This immortal novel of the sea tells the story of a British sailor haunted by a single youthful act of cowardly betrayal. To the white men in Bombay, Calcutta, and Rangoon, Jim is a man of mystery. To the primitive natives deep in the Malayan jungle, he is a god gifted with supernatural powers. To the beautiful half-caste girl who flees to his hut for protection, he is a lord to be feared and loved.

Lord Jim—Conrad's classic portrait of a man's guilt, his search for forgiveness, and his final, tragic redemption—is a work of enduring value and one of the world's great masterpieces.

Conrad Joseph, Watts Cedric (EDT) Title : The Heart of Darkness
Author: Conrad Joseph, Watts Cedric (EDT)
Publisher: Everyman

This is Conrad's most subtle, compressed and proleptic work. Acclaimed as a supreme literary achievement, it has also come under literary, historical, and political attack. The profoundly influential novel journeys toward the settlement of the demonic Mr. Kurtz, the genius who would represent the best of Europe-but who, turned by the colonial experience to abuses both psychological and social, horrifies his investigator Marlow and commits him to witness the repulsive profundity of his own soul and times.

Conrad Joseph; Serpieri A. (cur.) Title : Falk. Testo inglese a fronte
Author: Conrad Joseph; Serpieri A. (cur.)
Publisher: Marsilio

Falk fa parte dei tre racconti che Conrad dedicò al momento della sua vita in cui ebbe il primo comando di una nave. Coinvolto in una storia che nasconde un segreto, quello di Falk, il personaggio trasgressivo del titolo, il narratore racconta i percorsi della sua vita: le mediazioni e i comici equivoci, le illusioni e le delusioni, le convenzioni del mondo civilizzato e anche le fascinazioni mitiche. Quando il segreto sarà rivelato, si saprà che tutte le stravaganze di Falk dipendono da un lontano episodio della sua vita, quando, per sopravvivere, fu costretto a mangiare carne umana.

Author: Conrad Joseph
Publisher: Mondadori Bruno Scolastica

Si imbarca su una nave francese e, giunto alla stazione della compagnia, vede come gli indigeni muoiano di stenti e di sfruttamento. Dopo un lungo viaggio di duecento miglia sul fiume rintrac- cia Kurtz, un leggendario agente capace di procurare più avorio di ogni altro. In realtà Kurtz, uomo solo e ormai folle, è quasi morente. Viene convinto a partire, ma muore sul battello che lo trasporta, dopo aver pronunciato un di- scorso che non può nascondere 'la tenebra del suo cuore'.

Conrad Joseph Title : Heart of Darkness
Author: Conrad Joseph
Publisher: Everymans Library

(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)

Heart of Darkness grew out of a journey Joseph Conrad took up the Congo River; the verisimilitude that the great novelist thereby brought to his most famous tale everywhere enhances its dense and shattering power.

Apparently a sailor’s yarn, it is in fact a grim parody of the adventure story, in which the narrator, Marlow, travels deep into the heart of the Congo where he encounters the crazed idealist Kurtz and discovers that the relative values of the civilized and the primitive are not what they seem. Heart of Darkness is a model of economic storytelling, an indictment of the inner and outer turmoil caused by the European imperial misadventure, and a piercing account of the fragility of the human soul.

Conrad Joseph, Berthoud Jacques (EDT) Title : Chance
Author: Conrad Joseph, Berthoud Jacques (EDT)
Publisher: Penguin Classics

'It is a mighty force that of mere chance, absolutely irresistible yet manifesting itself often in delicate forms such for instance as the charm, true or illusory, of a human being' In Flora de Barral, the slender, dreamy, morbidly charming daughter of a parvenu financier, Conrad creates his most complex heroine and one of his most unrelenting, but not unhopeful, novels of emotional isolation. Neglected by her bankrupt father and rejected by her governess, drifting into abstraction and despair, Flora takes refuge at sea on Captain Anthony's ship, where tragedy and her transformation begin. When published in 1913, Chance was an immediate success. Arnold Bennett wrote that 'this is a discouraging book for a writer because he damn well knows he can't write as well as this'; while an anonymous reviewer in Punch declared that 'the whole thing is much nearer wizardry than workmanship'.

Conrad Joseph Title : The Shadow-Line
Author: Conrad Joseph
Publisher: Penguin Classics

A young and inexperienced sea captain finds that his first command leaves him with a ship stranded in tropical seas and a crew smitten with fever. As he wrestles with his conscience and with the increasing sense of isolation that he experiences, the captain crosses the ‘shadow-line’ between youth and adulthood. In many ways an autobiographical narrative, Conrad's novella was written at the start of the Great War when his son Borys was at the Western Front, and can be seen as an attempt to open humanity’s eyes to the qualities needed to face evil and destruction.
