eBooks di Joseph Conrad editi da Angelo Pereira di Formato Mobipocket

Joseph Conrad (1857 – 1924), è stato uno scrittore polacco naturalizzato britannico, ed è considerato uno dei più importanti scrittori moderni in lingua inglese. Conrad è stato capace, grazie ad un ricchissimo linguaggio (nonostante l'inglese fosse soltanto la sua terza lingua, dopo quella polacca e quella francese), di ricreare in maniera magistrale atmosfere esotiche e riflettere i dubbi dell'animo umano nel confronto con terre selvagge. È universalmente riconosciuto come uno dei grandi maestri della prosa.

Nostromo (Centaur Classics) [The 100 greatest novels of all time - #50]. E-book. Formato Mobipocket Joseph Conrad   -  Angelo Pereira, 2016  - 

Joseph Conrad's 1904 adventure novel, set amid the mist-covered mountains of a fictional South American republic, spins a colorful tale of capitalist exploitation and rebellion. The story begins halfway through the revolution, employing flashbacks and glimpses of the future to depict the lure of silver and its effects on men — corrupting and destroying some, revealing the strengths of others. Conrad's deep moral consciousness and masterful narrative technique are at their best in Nostromo, one of his greatest works.

"I regard Conrad as one of the best writers of this century, and… one of the very few true novelists that England possesses." —George Orwell"I learned all I know of Literature from Conrad." —Ford Madox Ford"[Conrad’s] books are full of moments of vision. They light up a whole character in a flash… He could not write badly, one feels, to save is life." —Virginia Woolf“Lord Jim” tells the story of a young, idealistic Englishman — as unflinching as a hero in a book — who is disgraced by a single act of cowardice while serving as an officer on the Patna, a merchant-ship sailing from an eastern port. His life is ruined: an isolated scandal has assumed horrifying proportions. But, then he’s befriended by an older man named Marlow who helps to establish him in exotic Patusan, a remote Malay settlement where his courage is put to the test once more.“Lord Jim” is a book about courage and cowardice, self-knowledge and personal growth. It’s one of the most profound and rewarding psychological novels in English. Set in the context of social change and colonial expansion in late Victorian England, it embodies in Jim the values and turmoil of a fading empire.
