Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Joseph Conrad, una de las cotas mas altas de la literatura universal.1000 aniversario de la muerte del autor.Joseph Conrad (Berdichev, Ucrania, 1857 - Canterbury, Inglaterra, 1924) abandono la navegacion a los treinta y siete anos tras veinte de servicio en la marina mercante, se asento en Inglaterra y empezo a escribir en ingles (su tercera lengua despues del polaco y del frances).Esta seleccion de cuentos incorpora algunas de sus piezas mas valiosas. Una avanzadilla del progreso y La laguna, escritos en 1896, pertenecen a su primera epoca. En el primero, Conrad hace un retrato hilarante --y tragico-- de la empresa colonizadora belga, que dos anos mas tarde ampliaria en El corazon de las tinieblas. La laguna esta ambientada en la isla de Borneo y consigue recrear con una maestria admirable el paisaje --tanto fisico como moral-- de la vida en los tropicos. Il Conde (1906), situada en Napoles, surgio del encuentro con un viejo aristocrata polaco y explora el complejo tema de las mentiras con las que nos enganamos a nosotros mismos a causa de la respetabilidad. Y La historia (1916), inspirada por las experiencias del autor durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, plantea una reflexion moral que convierte este relato en uno de los mas profundos que se han escrito sobre los limites de la responsabilidad individual en medio de una guerra.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONJoseph Conrad, One of the Greatest Figures in World Literature100th Anniversary of the Author's DeathJoseph Conrad (Berdichev, Ukraine, 1857 - Canterbury, England, 1924) left his seafaring life at thirty-seven after twenty years in the merchant navy. He settled in England and began writing in English (his third language after Polish and French).This selection of stories includes some of his most valuable pieces. "An Outpost of Progress" and "The Lagoon," written in 1896, belong to his early period. In the former, Conrad offers a hilarious--and tragic--portrait of the Belgian colonial enterprise, which he expanded two years later in Heart of Darkness. "The Lagoon" is set in Borneo and masterfully recreates the physical and moral landscape of life in the tropics. "Il Conde" (1906), set in Naples, emerged from his encounter with an old Polish aristocrat and explores the complex theme of the lies we tell ourselves for the sake of respectability. And "The Tale" (1916), inspired by the author's experiences during World War I, offers a moral reflection that makes this story one of the deepest ever written about the limits of individual responsibility in the midst of war.
