Informazioni su questo ebook
La novela de Lord Jim, del autor polaco nacionalizado británico Joseph Conrad, se publicó en el año 1900. Aunque siempre se ha considerado una de las obras culminantes del género de aventuras, en la que su autor, como antiguo marino que era, reflejó su conocimiento de la mar, de sus gentes y de países exóticos, Conrad pretendió sobre todo trazar el retrato psicológico de un joven idealista y sediento de aventuras que descubre cuán difícil es el valor en situaciones extremas.

Informazioni sull'autore
Joseph Conrad is recognized as one of the 20th century's greatest English language novelists. He was born Jozef Konrad Nalecz Korzeniowski on December 3, 1857, in the Polish Ukraine. His father, a writer and translator, was from Polish nobility, but political activity against Russian oppression led to his exile. Conrad was orphaned at a young age and subsequently raised by his uncle. At 17 he went to sea, an experience that shaped the bleak view of human nature which he expressed in his fiction. In such works as Lord Jim (1900), Youth (1902), and Nostromo (1904), Conrad depicts individuals thrust by circumstances beyond their control into moral and emotional dilemmas. His novel Heart of Darkness (1902), perhaps his best known and most influential work, narrates a literal journey to the center of the African jungle. This novel inspired the acclaimed motion picture Apocalypse Now. After the publication of his first novel, Almayer's Folly (1895), Conrad gave up the sea. He produced thirteen novels, two volumes of memoirs, and twenty-eight short stories. He died on August 3, 1924, in England.
