'It was I who removed de P - this morning.' With these chilling words Victor Haldin shatters the solitary, industrious existence of Razumov, his fellow student at St Petersburg University.

Their fateful story is told by an elderly Englishman who loves Natalia but plays his part of a 'dense Westerner' to the end.

In Joseph Conrads Youth: A Narrative, readers are introduced to the captivating story of a young sailor named Marlow as he embarks on his first voyage to the East Indies. The novella expertly captures the themes of youth, adventure, and the complexities of human nature. Conrads literary style is characterized by vivid imagery, introspective narration, and a deep exploration of the human psyche. The inclusion of Heart of Darkness in this edition provides readers with a deeper insight into the themes of colonialism and morality, making it a must-read for those interested in exploring the darker aspects of human nature in the context of imperialism. Conrads ability to blend adventure with profound philosophical questions sets Youth: A Narrative apart as a timeless classic in English literature. Joseph Conrads own experiences as a sailor undoubtedly influenced his writing, adding authenticity and depth to the narrative. His unique perspective as a Polish-British author navigating the complexities of imperialism and human nature shines through in Youth: A Narrative. I highly recommend this book to readers who appreciate thought-provoking literature that delves into the complexities of human existence and morality.

El socio reúne una buena parte de las características de la obra de Joseph Conrad, si bien en esta ocasión el escenario no es una gran aventura.

Lo central en esta historia es el juego de tensiones psicologicas, desarrollado con maestria y rematado con un final de accion trepidante.

The Tale by Joseph Conrad brings together in one collection four stories by Joseph Conrad. Set onboard a ship during an unnamed war, the title story is a harrowing account of guilt and responsibility, showing Conrad at his most accomplished as a master of psychological penetration. Accompanying this is another study of the brutal turns of fortune visited on the unwary by war: The Warriors Soul takes place during Napoleons invasion of Russia, and traces the interweaving relationship between a beautiful woman and the two men who love her. Prince Roman, meanwhile, is one of Conrads earliest stories, and the only piece in his entire oeuvre that touches on his homeland, Poland. The collection concludes with The Black Mate, a witty and light-hearted illustration of life aboard ship.""Spanning Joseph Conrads entire literary career, these four stories touch on some of his major interests - war, imperialism, life at sea - showing him at his most intimate and ambitious."
