Heart of Darkness and The Secret Sharer pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載2025
Conrad was born on 12/3/1857, in a part of Russia that had once belonged to Poland. His parents were members of the landed gentry, but as ardent Polish patriots they suffered considerably for their political views. Orphaned at 11, Conrad attended school in Cracow but concluded that there was no future for him in occupied Poland, and at 16 he left forever. The sea was Conrad's love and career for the next 20 years; in the British merchant navy, he rose finally to captain, sailing to Australia and Borneo and surviving at least one shipwreck. In 1890 he became captain of a Congo River steamer, but this led only to disillusionment and ill health and this would become the basis for Conrad's masterpiece, Heart of Darkness. Reluctantly leaving the merchant service, he settled in England and completed his first novel, Almayer's Folly, already begun at sea.

Heart of Darkness is a novella by Joseph Conrad. Before publication, it appeared in a three-part series in Blackwood's Magazine (1899). This highly symbolic story is actually a story within a story, or frame tale, following a man named Charlie Marlow, as he recounts his adventure to a group of men, onboard a ship anchored in the Thames Estuary, at dusk and continuing into the evening. It details an incident earlier in Marlow's life when he, an Englishman, takes a foreign assignment as a ferry boat captain on what readers can assume is the Congo River in the Belgian owned Congo Free State; the name of the country is never specified in the text. Though his job is to transport ivory downriver, Marlow quickly develops an intense interest in investigating Kurtz, an ivory procurement agent in the employment of the government. Kurtz's reputation extends throughout the region.
Publisher Comments:
Heart Of Darkness. The story of the civilized, enlightened Mr. Kurtz who embarks on a harrowing "night journey" into the savage heart of Africa, only to find his dark and evil soul. The Secret Sharer. The saga of a young, inexperienced skipper forced to decide the fate of a fugitive sailor who killed a man in self-defense. As he faces his first moral test the skipper discovers a terrifying truth — and comes face to face with the secret itself. Heart Of Darkness and The Secret Sharer draw on actual events and people that Conrad met or heard about during his many far-flung travels. In portraying men whose incredible journeys on land and at sea are also symbolic voyages into their own mysterious depths, these two masterful works give credence to Conrad's acclaim as a major psychological writer.

讀後感
Women as the Other Two women in black Since the publication of Heart of Darkness, it has weltered in lots of controversial voices. This book is regarded as a story about Marlow’s witness of the collapse of the civilization, which has nothing to do with wo...
評分Heart of Darkness]是第一人称叙事，很口语化。一个海员到非洲刚果一个贸易公司去做跑船，带领一群人开着破船去河流的上游找一个神奇的同事，一个非常有能力的连土著人都佩服他的 kurtz 先生。他们费劲力气找到先生后却发现他完全不是想象中的样子，而是做了土著人的神，压根不...
評分先说说为什么趁着la fête des morts要看这本书，其实是因为看了《金刚》，然后去刷了《现代启示录》。电影前半部分是经典的反战倾向，但到了后半部分却完全跳脱出了战争的内涵，上升到了人类对于原始文明的理解，偶像崇拜、祭祀仪式……这在现代人看来“愚昧无知”的文明，却...
評分 評分刚读完黑暗的心，诚如许多评论所言，阅读过程比较费劲，或许是情节不对胃口，或许是语言有点晦涩，或许是叙事方式有点跳跃，可能都有点吧，但是，我觉得康拉德的厉害之处在于他跳脱了英国当时流行的叙事范式：多次变换的叙事视角，嵌套故事，放弃对故事情节的执念，注重人物心...

评分基調灰暗，寫法一般。 晦澀不是深刻的代名詞！！
