Joseph Conrad
a life
de Zdzisław Najder · Publicada por primera vez en 2007
" This new, extensively revised edition presents a wealth of new material from recently-opened former eastern-bloc archives. There is new material on Conrad's father's genealogy and his role in Polish politics; Conrad's service in the French and British merchant marines; his early English reading and correspondence; his experiences in the Congo; the circumstances of writing his memoirs, and much more. In addition, several aspects of Conrad's life and works are more thoroughly analyzed: his problems with the English language; his borrowings from French writers; his attitude toward socialism, his reaction to the reception of his books" -- publisher website (August 2007).
