The Rover de Joseph Conrad

The Rover

Autor Joseph Conrad
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 noi 2020
The story takes place in the south of France, against the backdrop of the French Revolution, Napoleon's rise to power, and the French-English rivalry in the Mediterranean. Peyrol is a master-gunner in the French republican navy, pirate, and for nearly fifty years "rover of the outer seas." He attempts to find refuge in an isolated farmhouse named Escampobar on the Giens Peninsula near Hy res. We read about Peyrol's attempt at withdrawal from an action and blood-filled life, his involvement with the pariahs of Escampobar farm, and the struggle for his identity and allegiance, which is resolved in his last voyage.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Joseph Conrad’s last completed novel is a masterpiece of narrative tension and psychological insight.

Notă biografică

Joseph Conrad (1857 - 1924) was a Polish-British writer regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. He joined the British merchant marine in 1878, and was granted British citizenship in 1886. Though he did not speak English fluently until his twenties, he was a master prose stylist who brought a non-English sensibility into English literature. He wrote stories and novels, many with a nautical setting, that depict trials of the human spirit in the midst of an impassive, inscrutable universe. Conrad is considered an early modernist, though his works still contain elements of 19th-century realism. His narrative style and anti-heroic characters have influenced numerous authors and many films have been adapted from, or inspired by, his works. Writing in the heyday of the British Empire, Conrad drew on his native Poland's national experiences and his own experiences in the French and British merchant navies, to create short stories and novels that reflect aspects of a European-dominated world-including imperialism and colonialism-and that profoundly explore the human psyche.
