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. Свободных экз. нет |

Кл.слова (ненормированные): английский язык -- зарубежная проза -- классика -- роман -- художественная литература Аннотация: An Outcast of the Islands was only Conrad’s second novel, but in its theme, in its impressionistic use of scenery, and, and over all, in the enormous richness and power of the writing, it predicts Conrad’s position as a literary figure of the highest rank. Peter Willems, a clerk in Macassar, granted a «second chance» at a remote river trading post, falls ever more hopelessly into traps set by himself and others. A parable of human frailty, with love and death the major players, this is a story of a man unable to understand others and fated never to possess his own soul. Свободных экз. нет |

Кл.слова (ненормированные): английский язык -- зарубежная проза -- классика -- приключение -- рассказ -- художественная литература Аннотация: More than a century after its publication Heart of Darkness remains an indisputably classic text and arguably Conrad’s fi nest work. Taking place mostly in Africa, it tells the story of Europeans going to the Congo in search of goods to bring back, mostly ivory. They do this in the name of «Imperialism», but Conrad makes it very clear from the beginning that there is no civilization creation going on. Through corruption and exploitation of the blacks, the Europeans gain as much ivory as they can. However, it seems there is another process going on. The deep recesses of the jungle do something to a man, change him, and somehow demoralization begins. Свободных экз. нет |

The harsh endurance test of survival at sea, magnified by the dying sailor’s condition, sends the crewmen through an emotional gamut, ranging from pity and selfless compassion to fear, resentment, and a profound hatred that boils perilously close to mutiny. Joseph Conrad drew upon his two decades of experience in the British merchant marine for the vital, memorable characterizations and realistic depictions of seafaring life in this and many of his other works.
