Heart of Darkness and Selected Short Fiction
ISBN: 9781435172319 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. When Charles Marlow travels to Africa to serve as steamboat pilot for an ivory-trading company, he learns he is to rendezvous with Kurtz, a trading-post agent held in high regard. But the deeper Marlow penetrates into the jungle, the grimmer the assessments of Kurtz become. Described by Conrad himself as “something quite on another plane than an anecdote of a man who went mad in the Centre of Africa,” Heart of Darkness has long been regarded as a powerful appraisal of the fragility of civilization and the consequences of imperialism. This collection includes another five of Conrad’s...

The Secret Agent
ISBN: 9781512382358 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Though he is best remembered for his novel Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad widened his scope in later life to include espionage, such as he does in his 1907 novel The Secret Agent. Over 100 years later this work is lauded for its visionary take on terrorism and the rise of spy networks. Though the book was not very popular in its time, critics nonetheless lauded Conrad for his effort, with many dubbing it one of his very best works. Its themes of civil disconnect and anarchism are still resonate today; the Unabomber, Ted Koczynsky is said to have identified strongly with The Professor.

The Secret Agent
ISBN: 9781496185624 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 158 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. One of the greatest English writers of the 19th century was a Polish-born man who couldn't even speak English fluently until he had entered adulthood. Nevertheless, Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) went on to have a well-regarded literary career that bridged Romanticism and Modernism while also covering the zenith and twilight of the British empire.
Conrad used his experience within the British empire to write novels and stories that often used the sea and navy as a setting, juxtaposing the individual human spirit with the collective duty and honor of the British navy. And though it was a... One of the greatest English writers of the 19th century was a Polish-born man who couldn't even speak English fluently until he had entered adulthood....

The Point of Honor by Joseph Conrad, Fiction, Literary, Historical
ISBN: 9781606649657 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Also published as "The Duel, " Joseph Conrad's 1908 short novel "The Point of Honor" was adapted to film as the elegant "The Duellists, " Ridley Scott's 1977 film debut. Fans of the film will find Joseph Conrad's book a bit softer, but no less entertaining, than the brutal, uncompromising Napoleonic-era vendetta of animalistic Feraud against gentle, sensitive D'Hubert. A "point of honor" is defined as a "concern that seriously affects the perception of your honor," yet it is hard to discern which point of honor began the twenty-year series of duels between the two officers. Reportedly based...

ISBN: 9781512128109 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "Nostromo" is the most anxiously meditated of the longer novels which belong to the period following upon the publication of the "Typhoon" volume of short stories. I don't mean to say that I became then conscious of any impending change in my mentality and in my attitude towards the tasks of my writing life. And perhaps there was never any change, except in that mysterious, extraneous thing which has nothing to do with the theories of art; a subtle change in the nature of the inspiration; a phenomenon for which I can not in any way be held responsible. What, however, did cause me some concern...

Several of us, all more or less connected with the sea, were dining in a small river-hostelry not more than thirty miles from London, and less than twenty from that shallow and dangerous puddle to which our coasting men give the grandiose name of "German Ocean." And through the wide windows we had a view of the Thames; an enfilading view down the Lower Hope Reach. But the dinner was execrable, and all the feast was for the eyes.
