Sinopsis

In the "Complete Short Stories of Joseph Conrad," readers are invited into the intricate and often turbulent worlds crafted by one of the foremost chroniclers of human experience. This collection traverses a multitude of themes, such as imperialism, existential despair, and the complexities of human relationships. Conrad's literary style is characterized by rich, evocative prose and an acute psychological depth, providing a nuanced exploration of morality and the darker facets of human nature. Encompassing his letters, critical essays, and memoirs, this volume not only highlights Conrad's storytelling prowess but also situates his work within the broader context of late 19th and early 20th-century literature, where the impact of colonialism and modernity loomed large. Joseph Conrad, born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski in Poland, experienced a tumultuous life that included significant maritime adventures and a deep understanding of different cultures. His own voyages and experiences in the British merchant navy profoundly influenced his outlook and narrative techniques. Conrad's unique perspective, particularly on the nature of colonialism and its psychological ramifications, informed his literary approach and shaped his stories, making them resonate with profound philosophical inquiry. For readers who are drawn to narratives that unravel the intricacies of the human soul and explore the moral dilemmas inherent in human existence, this comprehensive collection serves as both an introduction to and a culmination of Conrad's literary career. It is an essential addition for scholars and casual readers alike who wish to delve into the reflective depths of Conrad's work, enriched by the context of his life and thoughts.

    William Clark Russell (24 February 1844 - 8 November 1911) was an English writer best known for his nautical novels. At the age of 13 Russell joined the United Kingdom's Merchant Navy, serving for eight years. The hardships of life at sea damaged his health permanently, but provided him with material for a career as a writer. He wrote short stories, press articles, historical essays, biographies and a book of verse, but was known best for his novels, most of which were about life at sea. He maintained a simultaneous career as a journalist, principally as a columnist on nautical subjects for The Daily Telegraph.
    SAVED: We had never yet had the leisure to inspect the stores with which the mutineers had furnished the quarter-boat, and we now found, in spite of their having shifted a lot of provisions out of her into the long-boat before starting in pursuit of us.
