Lord Jim (Paperback): Joseph Conrad Lord Jim (Paperback)
Joseph Conrad; Edited by J.H. Stape; Introduction by Allan Simmons
Sold By Aristata Bookshop - Fulfilled by Loot
R197 Discovery Miles 1 970 Ships in 2 - 4 working days

This compact novel, completed in 1900, as with so many of the great novels of the time, is at its baseline a book of the sea. An English boy in a simple town has dreams bigger than the outdoors and embarks at an early age into the sailor's life. The waters he travels reward him with the ability to explore the human spirit, while Joseph Conrad launches the story into both an exercise of his technical prowess and a delicately crafted picture of a character who reaches the status of a literary hero.

Under Western Eyes (Paperback): Joseph Conrad Under Western Eyes (Paperback)
Joseph Conrad; Introduction by Allan Simmons; Notes by Allan Simmons
R325 Discovery Miles 3 250 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Under Western Eyes traces a sequence or error, guilt, and expiation. Its composition placed such demands upon Conrad that he suffered a serious breakdown upon its completion. It is by common critical consent one of his finest achievements. Bomb-throwing assassins, political repression and revolt, emigre revolutionaries infiltrated by a government spy: much of Under Western Eyes (1911) is more topical than we might wish. Set in tsarist Russia and in Geneva, its concern with perennial issues of human responsibility gives it a lasting moral force. The contradictory demands placed upon men and women by the social and political convulsions of the modern age have never been more revealingly depicted. Joseph Conrad personally felt no sympathy with either Russians or revolutionaries. None the less his portrayal of both in Under Western Eyes is dispassionate and disinterested. Through the Western eyes of his narrator we are given a sombre but not entirely pessimistic view of the human dilemmas which are born of oppression and violence.
