    Joseph Conrad
    Joseph Conrad was born in 1857 in Polish Ukraine. An orphan by the age of eleven, he studied for six years at St. Petersburg University, which he abandoned before earning a degree. Conrad left Poland in 1874. He spent his next years in France, learning a second language and the fundamentals of seamanship. The friends he met there introduced him to drama, opera and theater. At the same time, he was also strengthening his maritime contacts, and soon he became an observer on pilot boats. The workers he met on the ships, as well as all his experiences there, laid the groundwork for much of the vivid detail in his novels. In the summer of 1889, while in England, Conrad began his writing career by starting his first novel, Almayer's Folly . He chose to write in English, his third language. A journey to the Congo in 1890 was Conrad's inspiration to write Heart of Darkness , his best-known work, which expressed his outrage with the practices of colonialism. He returned to England, and soon after had to deal with the death of his beloved guardian-uncle. The money left to the author gave him the financial security to make writing his occupation.

    Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) , Polish-born English author and master mariner wrote Heart of Darkness “. . . No, it is impossible; it is impossible to convey the life-sensation of any given epoch of one’s existence—that which makes its truth, its meaning—its subtle and penetrating essence. It is impossible. We live, as we dream—alone. . . .” (Part 1) With haunting verse Conrad has crafted a chilling tale laden with lush imagery and symbolism describing the ambiguity between good and evil. “He was obeyed, yet he inspired neither love nor fear, nor even respect. He inspired uneasiness. That was it!” —(ibid) With characters as anti-hero he examines man’s moral complexities and capacity for corruption and evil, and the dark depths of the human psyche; Anything approaching the change that came over his features I have never seen before, and hope never to see again. Oh, I wasn’t touched. I was fascinated. It was as though a veil had been rent. I saw on that ivory face the expression of sombre pride, of ruthless power, of craven terror—of an intense and hopeless despair. Did he live his life again in every detail of desire, temptation, and surrender during that supreme moment of complete knowledge? He cried in a whisper at some image, at some vision—he cried out twice, a cry that was no more than a breath. (ibid, Part 3)

Ivan Turgenev Joseph Conrad (born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski Polish British novelist, who became a British subject in 1886. He is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in English, though he did not speak the language fluently until he was in his twenties (and then always with a marked Polish accent). He wrote stories and novels, predominantly with a nautical or seaboard setting, that depict trials of the human spirit by the demands of duty and honour. Conrad was a master prose stylist who brought a distinctly non-English tragic sensibility into English literature. While some of his works have a strain of romanticism , he is viewed as a precursor of modernist literature . His narrative style and anti-heroic characters have influenced many authors. Films have been adapted from or inspired by Conrad's Victory Lord Jim The Secret Agent An Outcast of the Islands ... The Shadow Line The Duel Heart of Darkness , and Nostromo Writing in the heyday of the British Empire , Conrad drew upon his experiences in the French and later the British Merchant Navy to create short stories and novels that reflect aspects of a worldwide empire while also plumbing the depths of the human soul.

    Joseph Conrad: Heart of Darkness [Herz der Finsternis]
    Links Literatur Sekundärliteratur Charlie Marlow erzählt seine Reise von Gravesend, England nach Westafrika und entlang des Kongos ins Innere Afrikas. Dort haust der Elfenbeinjägers Kurtz. Er hat der Kongogesellschaft sagenhaften Reichtum durch Elfenbein beschert, herrscht andrerseits mit Brutalität über ein eigenes kleines Reich.
    Joseph Conrad verfügt über einen enormen Wortreichtum. Man merkt es besonders am englischen Original: Worte werden kaum wiederholt außer zu merkwürdigen Doppelungen, die den gesamten Roman durchziehen und die im berühmten gehauchten Ausspruch des Agenten Kurtz gipfeln: "The horror! The horror!" (S. 149). Darauf stirbt er. Der Leser darf rätseln, was Kurtz meinte: Todesangst? Lebensrückblick? Furcht vorm Jenseits?
    Ein weiteres hervorhebenswertes Merkmal des Stils ist wie geschickt Conrad eine Atmosphäre der Unwirklichkeit hervorruft. Auch beim zweiten Lesen entstehen neben der konkreten Schilderung des Urwalds, der Fahrt und der Aktionen zum Gelingen der Reise verschwommene Bilder von Kurtz und seinem sagenumwobenen Reich. Das Kapitel III beginnt Conrad mit einer ausführlichen Charakterisierung, hinter der man zunächst Kurtz vermutet (S. 118f). Es ist aber nur ein Manager für Kurtz. Heart of Darkness begründete motivmässig eine eigene Literatursparte, setzte aber auch bekannte fort. Meist nennt man die

    Conrad, Joseph,
    original Lord Jim Nostromo (1904), and The Secret Agent (1907) and the short story "Heart of Darkness" (1902). During his lifetime Conrad was admired for the richness of his prose and his renderings of dangerous life at sea and in exotic places. But his initial reputation as a masterful teller of colourful adventures of the sea masked his fascination with the individual when faced with nature's invariable unconcern, man's frequent malevolence, and his inner battles with good and evil. To Conrad, the sea meant above all the tragedy of loneliness. A writer of complex skill and striking insight, but above all of an intensely personal vision, he has been increasingly regarded as one of the greatest English novelists. Conrad's father, Apollo Nal e cz Korzeniowski, a poet and an ardent Polish patriot, was one of the organizers of the committee that went on in 1863 to direct the Polish insurrection against Russian rule. He was arrested in late 1861 and was sent into exile at Vologda in northern Russia. His wife and four-year-old son followed him there, and the harsh climate hastened his wife's death from tuberculosis in 1865. In A Personal Record Conrad relates that his first introduction to the English language was at the age of eight, when his father was translating the works of Shakespeare and Victor Hugo in order to support the household. In those solitary years with his father he read the works of Sir Walter Scott, James Fenimore Cooper, Charles Dickens, and William Makepeace Thackeray in Polish and French. Apollo was ill with tuberculosis and died in Cracow in 1869. Responsibility for the boy was assumed by his maternal uncle, Tadeusz Bobrowski, a lawyer, who provided his nephew with advice, admonition, financial help, and love. He sent Conrad to school at Cracow and then to Switzerland, but the boy was bored by school and yearned to go to sea. In 1874 Conrad left for Marseille with the intention of going to sea.

      Study Guides and Essays by Joseph Conrad Heart of Darkness Lord Jim The Secret Agent Secret Sharer The Shadow Line Short Tales of Joseph Conrad Under Western Eyes Joseph Conrad Joseph Conrad grew up in the Polish Ukraine, a large, fertile plain between Poland and Russia. It was a divided nation, with four languages, four religions, and a number of different social classes. A fraction of the Polish-speaking inhabitants, including Conrad's family, belonged to the szlachta , a hereditary class in the aristocracy on the social hierarchy, combining qualities of gentry and nobility. They had political power, despite their impoverished state. Conrad's father, Apollo Korzeniowski, studied for six years at St. Petersburg University, which he left before earning a degree. Conrad's mother, Eva Bobrowska, was thirteen years younger than Apollo and the only surviving daughter in a family of six sons. After she met him in 1847, Eva was drawn to Apollo's poetic temperament and passionate patriotism, while he admired her lively imagination. Although Eva's family disapproved of the courtship, the two were married in 1856. Instead of devoting himself to the management of his wife's agricultural estates, Apollo pursued literary and political activities, which brought in little money. He wrote a variety of plays and social satires. Although his works were little known, they would have tremendous influence on his son.
