About the author

Joseph Conrad

3,142 books4,874 followers
Joseph Conrad was a Polish-British novelist and story writer. He is regarded as one of the greatest writers in the English language and, although he did not speak English fluently until his twenties, he became a master prose stylist who brought a non-English sensibility into English literature. He wrote novels and stories, many in nautical settings, that depict crises of human individuality in the midst of what he saw as an indifferent, inscrutable, and amoral world.
Conrad is considered a literary impressionist by some and an early modernist by others, though his works also contain elements of 19th-century realism. His narrative style and anti-heroic characters, as in Lord Jim, for example, have influenced numerous authors. Many dramatic films have been adapted from and inspired by his works. Numerous writers and critics have commented that his fictional works, written largely in the first two decades of the 20th century, seem to have anticipated later world events.
Writing near the peak of the British Empire, Conrad drew on the national experiences of his native Poland—during nearly all his life, parceled out among three occupying empires—and on his own experiences in the French and British merchant navies, to create short stories and novels that reflect aspects of a European-dominated world—including imperialism and colonialism—and that profoundly explore the human psyche.

Φλύαρο και αδιάφορο σαν βιβλίο.
Αποτελείται από τρία (όχι και τόσο σύντομα (διηγήματα): το πανδοχείο των δύο μαγισσών, ο αναρχικός και ο πληροφοριοδότης.

Ήδη από το πρώτο διήγημα κουραστικά, βαρέθηκα και μπήκα στον πειρασμό να το αφήσω, αλλά ήθελα να δω και τα άλλα δύο μήπως στρώνει. Τζάμπα κόπος, δεν στρώνει, είναι εξίσου βαρετά και μακρόσυρτα.

Παράξενο βιβλίο...
Η πρώτη και η τρίτη ιστορία ξεχωριστές και πρωτότυπες, αν και με ατέρμονες περιγραφές.
Η δεύτερη τόσο φλύαρη, που δεν διαβαζόταν - τουλάχιστον εγώ βαρέθηκα μετά τις 4-5 πρώτες σελίδες.
Έχω μία υποψία ότι μπορεί και να είναι θέμα μετάφρασης, αν και δεν το έχω ψάξει. Κάποιες φράσεις δεν έβγαζαν εύκολα νόημα, οπότε είναι πιθανόν.
