El Duelo (Spanish Edition)

by Joseph Conrad

Overview

Napoleón I, cuya carrera militar tuvo las características de un duelo contra toda Europa, desaprobaba los duelos entre los oficiales de su ejército. El gran emperador militar no era nigún espadachín y sentía poco respeto por la tradición. A pesar de eso, una historia de duelo, que acabó convirtiéndose en leyenda militar, recorrió la epopeya de las guerras napoleónicas. Para sorpresa y admiración de sus camaradas, dos oficiales, como artistas enloquecidos que pretendieran refinar el oro puro o rizar el rizo, mantuvieron una disputa particular durante aquellos años de matanza generalizada. Joseph Conrad, El duelo.

About the Author

Best known for his novella Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad (1857–1924) was a Polish–British author. Although not a native English speaker, Conrad came to be regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. He revolutionized the English novel with books such as The Secret Agent, Nostromo, and Typhoon. Before publishing his first novel, Almayer's Folly, in 1895, Joseph Conrad spent almost 20 years working mostly at sea as a merchant sailor.
