Sinopse

Joseph Conrad's "Ultimate Collection" is an expansive treasury that brings together 18 of his seminal novels, over 20 short stories, and a selection of letters and memoirs that collectively illuminate the richness of his literary oeuvre. Spanning from the existential dread of "Heart of Darkness" to the adventurous spirit of "Lord Jim," Conrad'Äôs writing is characterized by its profound psychological depth and exploration of moral ambiguities. His complex narrative style, often utilizing non-linear storytelling and impressionistic descriptions, invites readers to grapple with their own interpretations of colonialism, isolation, and the human condition within a rapidly modernizing world. Born J√≥zef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski in 1857, Conrad's experiences as a Polish expatriate and sailor in the British merchant navy heavily influenced his worldview and writing. His unique perspective as a non-Anglophone author navigating the intricacies of English literature allowed him to craft narratives rich in thematic conflicts and innovative prose, reflecting both a profound understanding of mankind and an acute moral sensibility, often at odds with the societal norms of his time. This anthology serves as an essential reading for anyone interested in the evolution of modern literature. Conrad's exploration of the complexities of human experience resonates deeply, making this collection not only a reflection of his genius but also a vital contribution to literary discourse. Readers will find themselves captivated by his ability to weave intricate narratives that challenge perceptions, ensuring that his work remains relevant and compelling even today.

    Edwin A. Abbott's droll and delightful 'romance of many dimensions' explores this conundrum in the experiences of his protagonist, A Square, whose linear world is invaded by an emissary Sphere bringing the gospel of the third dimension on the eve of the new millennium.
    
    Part geometry lesson, part social satire, this classic work of science fiction brilliantly succeeds in enlarging all readers' imaginations beyond the limits of our 'respective dimensional prejudices. In a world where class is determined by how many sides you possess, and women are straight lines, the prospects for enlightenment are boundless, and Abbott's hypotheses about a fourth and higher dimensions seem startlingly relevant today.
