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. His subsequent works, many of which drew upon his sea experiences, include The Nigger of the "Narcissus" (1897), Lord Jim (1900), Nostromo (1904), The Secret Agent (1907), The Secret Sharer (1910), and Chance (1913). The man who was 21 before he spoke a word of English is now regarded as one of the superb English stylists of all time. Conrad died at his desk in 1924.

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.

黑暗深处有什么?这是个很恐怖的问题,谁知道黑暗深处会有什么?也许什么都没有,也许有美好的东西,也许是可怕的东西,因为看不到,所以一切都有可能,但是很奇怪,对这黑暗中的千万种可能总是下意识的觉得是不祥的所在。 约瑟夫·康拉德以及他的这本《黑暗深处》保...

在初读《黑暗之心》,我不会关注康拉德对非洲的凝视,或者一种因为孤独和疾病而堕落的心灵的呈现。写在人物分析前,我们要厘清的是:故事的要义即在嘲弄欧洲人在非洲的文明使命吗?也许是的,他可以是政治化的,也可以是历史化的,云云,但是我尽量在第一次阅读的过程中剔除这...

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...
