Almayer's Folly: A Story of an Eastern River de Joseph Conrad

Almayer's Folly: A Story of an Eastern River: The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Joseph Conrad

Autor Joseph Conrad Editat de David Leon Higdon, Floyd Eugene Eddleman
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 aug 1994
Set in eastern Borneo during the 1880s, Almayer's Folley recreates the conflicts of imperial Europe with the colonised East Indies through Joseph Conrad's story of Kaspar Almayer's personal tragedy: his loss of both his daughter of mixed race to her native lover and his dream of finding enough gold to return to Amsterdam in triumph. The introduction gives the history of the composition over almost five years as Conrad went to the Congo, Australia, the Ukraine, Belgium, Switzerland, and France as a seaman and on holiday. The novel has suffered seven layers of unauthorised intervention by typists and publishers, as set out in the essay on the text and the apparatus. The notes explain Malay terms and historical references, and there are two regional maps. This is the text of Almayer's Folley, established through modern textual scholarship, as Conrad would have like it to have appeared in 1895.

"...Almayer's Folly remains a provocative literary document, both for the psychologically compelling story it tells and the artistic story it foretells." English Literature in Transition 1880-1920

Descriere

This edition, first published in 1994, presents Joseph Conrad's first novel freed from seven layers of publishers' and typists' corruptions.

Notă biografică

"Joseph Conrad was a Polish-British novelist and short story writer. He is regarded as one of the greatest writers in the English language.Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness was first published in Blackwood's Magazine in 1899 as a three-part serial story. Giving a critical insight into the hypocrisy of European imperialism, it brings to light the absurdity of evil. It was published in book form in 1902 and has remained one of Conrad's best works.Among his other outstanding works are Lord Jim (1900); Nostromo (1904); The Secret Agent (1907); Under Western Eyes (1911); and Chance (1914)."
