Book Synopsis Joseph Conrad and the Fiction of Autobiography by : Edward W. Said
Download or read book Joseph Conrad and the Fiction of Autobiography written by Edward W. Said and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2008-01-08 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward W. Said locates Joseph Conrad's fear of personal disintegration in his constant re-narration of the past. Using the author's personal letters as a guide to understanding his fiction, Said draws an important parallel between Conrad's view of his own life and the manner and form of his stories. The critic also argues that the author, who set his fiction in exotic locations like East Asia and Africa, projects political dimensions in his work that mirror a colonialist preoccupation with "civilizing" native peoples. Said then suggests that this dimension should be considered when reading all of Western literature. First published in 1966, Said's critique of the Western self's struggle with modernity signaled the beginnings of his groundbreaking work, Orientalism, and remains a cornerstone of postcolonial studies today.

Book Synopsis Heart of Darkness by : Joseph Conrad
Download or read book Heart of Darkness written by Joseph Conrad and published by Modernista. This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heart of Darkness is often considered the world’s best short novel. The book serves as a bridge between the 19th century and modernism, an adventure tale revolving around the ambiguity of themes such as truth, morality, and evil. Joseph Conrad witnessed the European exploitation of the Congo with his own eyes. He once sailed up the Congo River himself to locate a countryman at a trading station deep within the country – even though this man wasn't named Kurtz. The goal and enigma of the journey have become synonymous with this name, one of the most unforgettable fictional characters of our time. JOSEPH CONRAD [1857–1924] was born in Ukraine to Polish parents, went to sea at the age of seventeen, and ended his career as a captain in the English merchant navy. His most famous work is the novella Heart of Darkness [1899], adapted into a film by Francis Ford Coppola in 1979 as Apocalypse Now.
Book Synopsis The Lagoon and Other Stories by : Joseph Conrad
Download or read book The Lagoon and Other Stories written by Joseph Conrad and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1997 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: B'An unquiet and mysterious country of inextinguishable desires and fears' 'The Lagoon' creates and sustains an ironic tension between reality and romance thatpreoccupies all of the twelve stories in this volume. Renouncing the world in favour of his love for the forbidden Diamelen, Arsat elopes with her to a bewitching forest, only to realize he has drawn his brotherinto mortal danger. Also centred on the hazards of the exotic, 'Il Conde' recounts the tale of an elegant Count, overtly engaged in a health-enhancing visit to Italy, his enjoyment of the picturesque disrupted by robbery and the voice of the Neapolitan underworld. Questioning the very nature ofthe exotic through shifting narrative perspectives, these stories mirror, in form and theme, Conrad's own ambiguous and hybrid status in imperial England. Set in the peripheral zones of the Victorian world, they range in location from London to the Malay archipelago, South America, Poland andRussia and tell of anarchists, Malay warriors, traders of the eastern seas, soldiers and sailors of the Napleonic wars. This edition is the first to reprint these stories as they first appeared in popular magazines of the time. William Atkinson's introduction explores the 'double-voiced' nature of Conrad's narratives as well as his ironic treatment of the adventure-romance genre popularized by his contemporaries,Stevenson, Kipling, and Rider Haggard.

Joseph Conrad (1857-1924), was a Polish author who wrote in English after settling in England. Conrad is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in English, though he did not speak the language fluently until he was in his twenties. He wrote stories and novels, often with a nautical setting, that depict trials of the human spirit in the midst of an indifferent universe. He was a master prose stylist who brought a distinctly non-English tragic sensibility into English literature.
