I racconti dell'inquietudine

by Joseph Conrad, Maura Maioli (Translator)

Overview

Per liberarsi dalla fastidiosa etichetta di scrittore d'avventura, Conrad sosteneva di mirare a un elemento ancora più inquieto e pericoloso del mare: l'implacabile oceano della vita umana. Sono infatti l'inquietudine, la pericolosità e la mutevolezza a legare questi cinque racconti, per altro di ispirazione molto diversa tra loro.

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.
