    I Joseph Conrads lange novelle "Et smil af lykken" følger vi kaptajnen på et fragtskib, der sejler rundt i troperne. På turen møder han to brødre. Den ene er en indflydelsesrig, velanset og afbalanceret herre, imens den anden har et opfarende og irritabelt gemyt og et flosset rygte.Kaptajnen vil gerne gøre den velansete brors venskab, men efterhånden som han lærer dem og deres interne stridighed at kende, kommer han pludselig i tvivl, om hvem han egentlig har lyst til at skænke sin loyalitet.Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) var en polsk-britisk forfatter, der anses for at være en af de bedste forfattere inden for engelsksproget litteratur. Han var en vigtig forgangsmand inden for den moderne litteratur og har inspireret forfattere som Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald og Joseph Heller. Mange af Joseph Conrads romaner har været inspiration til populære film. Francis Ford Coppolas filmklassiker "Dommedag nu" fra 1979 er baseret på Joseph Conrads "Mørkets hjerte", Alfred Hitchcocks film "Sabotage" fra 1936 bygger på Joseph Conrads "Den hemmelige agent", og Ridley Scotts film "The Duellists" er baseret på Joseph Conrads "Duellen".

Det viser sig, at han hedder Leggatt og er stukket af fra sit eget skib, hvor han sad indespærret på grund af en mordanklage.Men i stedet for at anholde Leggartt, tilbyder kaptajnen at skjule ham i sin kahyt, og så begynder balladen for alvor...Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) var en polsk-britisk forfatter, der anses for at være en af de bedste forfattere inden for engelsksproget litteratur.

    "Lord Jim" to najbardziej ceniona współcześnie powieść Josepha Conrada. Tytułowy bohater jest młodym Anglikiem, pochodzącym z dobrego domu. Śledzimy jego losy od początków służby w marynarce handlowej, przez pracę w portach południowo-wschodniej Azji, aż po zdobyte przywództwo na Borneo. Przede wszystkim jednak utwór jest historią o utraconym honorze i próbach rehabilitacji. Conrad dostarcza czytelnikom nie tylko barwnych opisów morskich przygód, ale i przybliża egzotykę Wschodu. Powieść skupia się wokół dylematów sumienia, lojalności, zdrady i konfrontacji z wrażliwością serca. Jak zwykle Conrad eksperymentuje z ludzkimi słabościami i namiętnościami, które wystawiają etykę bohaterów na próbę. Nowatorskie środki użyte przez autora do przedstawienia problematyki moralności i psychiki człowieka, sytuują Conrada wśród pierwszych modernistów literatury angielskiej.Joseph Conrad, właśc. Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski (1857-1924) - angielski pisarz, polskiego pochodzenia. Tworzył w języku angielskim. Jego powieści i opowiadania są oparte na osobistych doświadczeniach. Dominuje w nich problematyka moralno-psychologiczna. Conrad koncentruje się wokół ludzi morza, zmagających się z potęgą żywiołów. Według autora, człowiek nawet w na pozór beznadziejnej sytuacji powinien podejmować próbę walki z losem. Najważniejsze dzieła Conrada to: "Lord Jim", "Jądro ciemności", "Tajfun", "Zwierciadło morza", "Smuga cienia", "Złota strzała".

    In the Heart of Darkness Joseph Conrad explores the degradation of human morality as symbolized by Marlow's journey towards the "heart of darkness." As Marlow "penetrates deeper and deeper into the heart of darkness," and farther and farther into the African wilderness, he probes further into the human subconscious and psyche, represented by the jungle. Marlow's experiences in the jungle, and the episodes of barbarism, depict what happens when man crosses the line of civility.

    Tre klassiska berättelser till sjöss. En ung kapten känner sig som en främling ombord på sitt skepp ser en natt en förrymd fånge simma naken intill skeppet. En annan skeppskapten stiger i land i tropikerna och blir vän med två bröder. Samt en romantisk berättelse i exotisk havsmiljö om hur makthunger kan driva människor till storhet, eller till motsatsen.Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) föddes i ryska Ukraina av polska föräldrar. Han gick till sjöss som sjuttonåring och blev kapten i engelska handelsflottan. Efter en sjukdom bosatte han sig i England och började skriva. Conrad skrev på engelska och hans kanske mest kända verk är kortromanen Mörkrets hjärta, men författarskapet sträckte sig över flera genrer som romaner, essäer och tidningsartiklar.

    In 1998, the Modern Library ranked Nostromo 47th on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. It is frequently regarded as amongst the best of Conrad's long fiction; F. Scott Fitzgerald once said, "I'd rather have written Nostromo than any other novel."Conrad set his novel in the mining town of Sulaco, an imaginary port in the western region of the imaginary country of Costaguana. The book has more fully developed characters than any other of his novels, but two characters dominate the narrative: Señor Gould and the eponymous anti-hero, the "incorruptible" Nostromo.(Wikipedia)

    Selected by the Modern Library as two of the 100 best novels of all timeWITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY ROBERT D. KAPLANCOMMENTARY BY VIRGINIA WOOLF, HAROLD BLOOM, EDWARD SAID,F. R. LEAVIS, AND ROBERT PENN WARREN"        Never were Mr. Conrad''s felicity of phrase and charm of atmosphere more obvious. . . . A book of the rare literary quality of Lord Jim is something to receive with gratitude and joy."--The New York TimesOriginally published in 1900, Lord Jim is one of Joseph Conrad''s most complex literary masterpieces. The story of a young sailor whose moment of cowardice haunts him for the rest of his life, Lord Jim explores Conrad''s lifelong obsessions with the nature of guilt and the possibility of redemption.        Nostromo is considered by many to be Conrad''s supreme achievement, and Conrad himself referred to Nostromo as his "widest canvas." Set in the fictitious South American republic of Costaguana, Nostromo reveals the effects that misguided idealism, unparalleled greed, and imperialist interests can have on a fledging nation. V. S. Pritchett wrote: "Nostromo is the most strikingly modern of Conrad''s novels. It is pervaded by a profound, even morbid sense of insecurity which is the very spirit of our age."        Robert D. Kaplan''s Introduction explains why the two novels together form Conrad''s darkest glimpse into the flawed nature of humankind.JOSEPH CONRAD (1857-1924) grew up amid political unrest in Russian-occupied Poland. After twenty years at sea in the French and British merchant navies, he settled in England in 1894. Over the next three decades, he revolutionized the English novel with works such as Youth (1902), Heart of Darkness (1902), Typhoon (1903), The Secret Agent (1907), Under Western Eyes (1911), Chance (1913), and Victory (1915).ROBERT D. KAPLAN is a correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly and the author of seven books of travel and foreign affairs that have been translated into a dozen languages, including Balkan Ghosts, The Ends of the Earth, and An Empire Wilderness, all bestsellers, and a collection of essays, The Coming Anarchy. He lectures frequently to the U.S. military.
