Joseph Conrad

Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) was a Polish-British writer, regarded as one of the greatest novelists in the English language. Though he was not fluent in English until the age of twenty, Conrad mastered the language and was known for his exceptional command of stylistic prose. Inspiring a reoccurring nautical setting, Conrad’s literary work was heavily influenced by his experience as a ship’s apprentice. Conrad’s style and practice of creating anti-heroic protagonists is admired and often imitated by other authors and artists, immortalizing his innovation and genius.

    A clever work informed by Conrad's own experiences under a real Captain McWhir. It shows the historical changes underway with metal steamship where many of the crew are engineers, not sailors, portrayed as brutes. The captain reflects his ship contrary to the romance of sail - a steely lack of imagination indifferent to the forces of nature. The best part is the ending - there is none! At the climactic moment, as they are in the eye of the hurricane and about to face their greatest challenge - time jumps back to port. It is up to you dear reader to fill in the blank. Post-modernism ahoy, or a failure of imagination? The world made safer has lost something. More than a sea story, Conrad was an innovative and experimental artist.

    It was a real struggle to get through this book. It can be partly because of the language used but mainly happened because I didn`t care what was happening with the character. No even a little bit.

    I used this novella to try out the Serial Reader app on my iPod. I think that having the story broken up into the small chunks interfered a little with my enjoyment but perhaps this Conrad just isn't up to the level of his longer novels.

    This grips and engrosses, and evokes the fearsome moments anyone who's been in heavy water in heavy weather knows too well without being pedantic about it (no one drowns--just about that helplessness with drowning somewhere at the back of the mind). It does it well, and so you dwell on the weather and water and not on the weird stuff about what makes a bold sailor bold and what turns a Chinaman into a beast.

    In my opinion, his best work.

    One of the greatest examples in literature of landscape and nature treated as character. Although on one level this classic sea story is about the uneasy relations between the phlegmatic captain and his high-strung first mate, the antagonist, and in many ways the main character, is the storm itself:This is the disintegrating power of a great wind: it isolates one from one's kind. An earthquake, a landslip, an avalanche, overtake a man incidentally, as it were--without passion. A furious gale attacks him like a personal enemy, tries to grasp his limbs, fastens upon his mind, seeks to rout his very spirit out of him.This is my favorite of Conrad's novels, simply because the writing is so strong, evoking all the senses--you can feel it, hear, smell and taste the wind and water, and of course visualize it in all its shadowy hues, while the currents of man versus man, and men versus the elements, rage around each other like the storm itself. At the end, I felt like I had to rinse the salt water from my body.
