Joseph Conrad is one of the most intriguing and important modernist novelists. His writing continues to preoccupy twenty-first-century readers. This introduction by a leading scholar is aimed at students coming to Conrad's work for the first time. The rise of postcolonial studies has inspired new interest in Conrad's themes of travel, exploration, and racial and ethnic conflict. John Peters explains how these themes are explored in his major works, Nostromo, Lord Jim and Heart of Darkness, as well as his short stories. He provides an essential overview of Conrad's fascinating life and career and his approach to writing and literature. A guide to further reading is included which points to some of the most useful secondary criticism on Conrad. This is the most comprehensive and concise introduction to studying Conrad available, and will be essential reading for students of the twentieth-century novel and of modernism.

Jako conradystka czyta艂am 鈥� w膮tpi臋, bym przesadzi艂a 鈥� setki opracowa艅 na temat 偶ycia, tw贸rczo艣ci, wp艂yw贸w czy recepcji Josepha Conrada, ale nie ma lepszej kompilacji dokona艅 autora 鈥濴orda Jima鈥�, w ca艂ej jego z艂o偶ono艣ci, ni偶 opracowanie Petersa (kt贸ry zreszt膮 stanowi legend臋 conradystyki). Co jaki艣 czas, gdy czuj臋, 偶e pewne daty, idee czy nazwiska wylecia艂y mi z g艂owy, zagl膮dam do 鈥濼he Cambridge Introduction to Joseph Conrad鈥�.

Na niespe艂na 200 stronach znajdziemy najwa偶niejsze informacje biograficzne, t艂o historyczne, polityczne, kulturowe czy spo艂eczne czas贸w, w kt贸rych pisarz dzia艂a艂. Peters, przyjmuj膮c periodyzacj臋 wczesnego, 艣rodkowego i schy艂kowego okresu tw贸rczo艣ci, skrupulatnie, a zarazem zwi臋藕le przedstawia wszystkie dzie艂a, skupiaj膮c si臋 zar贸wno na fabule, jak i problematyce.

Badacz pisze r贸wnie偶 o zale偶no艣ciach mi臋dzy autorem 鈥濲膮dra ciemno艣ci鈥� a innymi pisarzami, nie pomijaj膮c recepcji krytycznoliterackiej oraz kulturowej.

Co istotne, j臋zyk, kt贸rym pos艂uguje si臋 conradysta, jest klarowny, pozbawiony akademickiej bufonady, wr臋cz prosty.
