Readers who are curious about how Joseph Conrad went from sailor to novelist will appreciate this brief memoir. Stream of consciousness might be an apt description of its style, as one recollection leads to another, then another, and another. Conrad gives readers a glimpse of his childhood, his decision to go to sea (rare for a young man from land-locked Polish Ukraine), his choice of the English language, the writing of his first novel (Almayer’s Folly), and his friendship with Stephen Crane.

HTML: A Personal Record is writer Joseph Conrad's autobiography. The writing is lyrical and atmospheric and commonly believed to be somewhat embellished. It does, however, give great insight into his Polish childhood, his sailing adventures and his aspirations in the eyes of the British public. It also documents the process of writing Almayer's Folly. The preface to the work contains the much-quoted lines: "Those who read me know my conviction that the world, the temporal world, rests on a few very simple ideas; so simple that they must be as old as the hills. It rests notably, among others, on the idea of Fidelity." .Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
