SEVERAL LIVES OF JOSEPH CONRAD（ISBN=9781400095865） fb2 pdf azw3 网盘 rtf 免费 下载 txt

　　In this authoritative, insightful biography, we see the

modernist master Joseph Conrad as a man who consistently reinvented

himself. Born in 1857 in the Ukraine, he left home early and worked

as a sailor, traveling to the Far East and Africa, and eventually

settled in England, beginning a precarious existence as a novelist.

John Stape describes a man with a deep sense of otherness, a writer

who wrote in his third language and whose fiction became the

cornerstone of modernism. With his exceptional understanding of

Conrad, Stape succeeds in casting a new light on the life of a man

who remains one of the greatest writers of his, and our, time.

媒体评论

　　“Brilliantly concise and often witty. . . . Stape has pressed

into one volume all the basic factual information anyone is likely

to want to know about Conrad's life.”

　　—The Washington Post Book World

　　“A balanced, detailed, thoroughly researched book that is filled

with fresh insights into this rather enigmatic man. . . .

Terrific.”

　　—Tucson Citizen

　　“Stape flushes out many facts we've not seen before. He sets

various records straight, debunking myths about Conrad.”

　　—The Weekly Standard

　　"Stape's desire to strip out the myths and not to add more is to

be admired. . . . There [are] wonderful glimpses of [Conrad]

through the eyes of his friends."

　　—The Economist

　　"Stape delivers a usefully compact . . . biography that draws on

material not available to his predecessors."

　　—The Seattle Times
