Per chi ama il mare e i racconti d'avventura "Tifone" è il romanzo che ci vuole. Conrad conosce il mare, ha scritto molto sul mare e questo può essere a ragione considerato uno dei suoi capolavori in assoluto. Di fronte ad un cataclisma metereologico come un uragano nel Mar della Cina, il Nan Shan, la nave del capitano McWhirr e del suo equipaggio, si difende come può ...

No coração das trevas (1902) resulta da experiência pessoal de Conrad, no Congo, em 1890, e constitui uma das narrativas ficcionais mais complexas e extraordinárias de toda a literatura inglesa. A exemplo de Charlie Marlow, narrador principal da obra, Conrad, ainda criança, contemplara um mapa e decidira um dia visitar o coração da África.

Nel capitolo finale del capolavoro di Conrad, le ombre della rivoluzione calano su Sulaco, trasformando il porto, la miniera e Le Isabelle in luoghi sospesi tra realtà e allucinazione. L'argento, fulcro simbolico dell'intero romanzo, diventa ossessione, ricatto, e infine condanna. I personaggi si muovono su uno sfondo lacerato: il dottor Monygham cerca risposte tra diplomazia e coscienza, Charles Gould affronta il crollo delle sue certezze, mentre le sorelle Viola e la loro famiglia vengono travolte dagli eventi.

(Introduction by S. Kovalchik)

In 1911, Conrad embarked on a journey of self-discovery through a series of loose autobiographical sketches that would evolve into A Personal Record. Written while he was in the midst of crafting Under Western Eyes, Conrads intent was clear to unveil the man behind the work. He masterfully paints a portrait of himself as a figure of wry humor and self-reflection, yet one who remains serious and grounded in the realities of life. While some anecdotes may seem trivial—like a generals daughter interrupting his writing or overseeing the unloading of a pony in Borneo—Conrads skill lies ...

El corazón de las tinieblas es una novela corta, intensa y perturbadora escrita por Joseph Conrad. Aunque en la superficie relata un viaje fluvial por el Congo durante la era del colonialismo europeo, en su fondo más profundo es un viaje al alma humana. Esta obra se convierte, leída desde la óptica del desarrollo personal, en una parábola sobre la confrontación con nuestras sombras, la fragilidad de la moral y la importancia de cultivar la conciencia interior.

Introspective sailor Charles Marlow recounts a life-changing and deeply unsettling expedition to Congo as riverboat captain for a Belgian trading company. He is eager to find Kurtz – an allegedly progressive thinker and talented man – during his travels. The journey to Africa is long and arduous; the surrounding jungle is dense and oppressively quiet, causing havoc among the ship’s crew. Marlow also begins to sense all is not well with Kurtz – the others seem to be fearful of him and he is rumoured to be ill.

Le fleuve Congo, dans 'Au cœur des ténèbres', est bien plus qu'un simple cours d'eau ; il est une métaphore de l'inconscient humain, de l'obscurité qui sommeille en chacun de nous. En remontant ce fleuve sinueux, Marlow entreprend un voyage intérieur, une exploration des profondeurs de son âme. Au fur et à mesure qu'il avance, les repères de la civilisation s'effacent, laissant place à un monde primitif et sauvage.
