Acerca deste livro eletrónico
Joseph Conrad's 'To-morrow' is a poignant and introspective novella that explores the complexities of human nature and the impact of past experiences on present actions. Set against the backdrop of a tumultuous political climate in a fictional South American country, the narrative delves into themes of power, identity, and morality. Conrad's eloquent prose and intricate character development make this work a classic example of modernist literature, with its layered narrative structure and psychological depth. 'To-morrow' is a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant piece that challenges readers to reflect on the consequences of individual choices in the face of larger societal forces. Joseph Conrad, a Polish-British writer known for his maritime novels, draws on his own experiences as a sailor to infuse his writing with a sense of authenticity and detail. His deep understanding of human nature and his exploration of moral ambiguity set him apart as a literary figure of great significance. Conrad's thematic preoccupations with the darkness of the human soul and the complexities of colonialism are evident in 'To-morrow.' I highly recommend 'To-morrow' to readers who appreciate literary works that delve into the inner workings of the human psyche and challenge conventional notions of morality. Conrad's masterful storytelling and profound insights make this novella a must-read for those interested in modernist literature and psychological fiction.
Acerca do autor
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.
