Heart of Darkness and The Secret Sharer pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
Conrad was born on 12/3/1857, in a part of Russia that had once belonged to Poland. His parents were members of the landed gentry, but as ardent Polish patriots they suffered considerably for their political views. Orphaned at 11, Conrad attended school in Cracow but concluded that there was no future for him in occupied Poland, and at 16 he left forever. The sea was Conrad's love and career for the next 20 years; in the British merchant navy, he rose finally to captain, sailing to Australia and Borneo and surviving at least one shipwreck. In 1890 he became captain of a Congo River steamer, but this led only to disillusionment and ill health and this would become the basis for Conrad's masterpiece, Heart of Darkness. Reluctantly leaving the merchant service, he settled in England and completed his first novel, Almayer's Folly, already begun at sea.

Heart of Darkness is a novella by Joseph Conrad. Before publication, it appeared in a three-part series in Blackwood's Magazine (1899). This highly symbolic story is actually a story within a story, or frame tale, following a man named Charlie Marlow, as he recounts his adventure to a group of men, onboard a ship anchored in the Thames Estuary, at dusk and continuing into the evening. It details an incident earlier in Marlow's life when he, an Englishman, takes a foreign assignment as a ferry boat captain on what readers can assume is the Congo River in the Belgian owned Congo Free State; the name of the country is never specified in the text. Though his job is to transport ivory downriver, Marlow quickly develops an intense interest in investigating Kurtz, an ivory procurement agent in the employment of the government. Kurtz's reputation extends throughout the region.
Publisher Comments:
Heart Of Darkness. The story of the civilized, enlightened Mr. Kurtz who embarks on a harrowing "night journey" into the savage heart of Africa, only to find his dark and evil soul. The Secret Sharer. The saga of a young, inexperienced skipper forced to decide the fate of a fugitive sailor who killed a man in self-defense. As he faces his first moral test the skipper discovers a terrifying truth — and comes face to face with the secret itself. Heart Of Darkness and The Secret Sharer draw on actual events and people that Conrad met or heard about during his many far-flung travels. In portraying men whose incredible journeys on land and at sea are also symbolic voyages into their own mysterious depths, these two masterful works give credence to Conrad's acclaim as a major psychological writer.

读后感
被迫看得英文版的，别的不好说，就是挺崇拜康拉德的，都30多了开始学英语还能拿英语写作当作家，无疑给吾辈打了一针强心针，让我觉得我又有希望了。。。“文明人”，“野蛮人”，文明的播种者还是野蛮的殖民者，这些问题太老套了又太尖锐了，作为一个第三世界的女人，想这些我...
评分 评分康拉德的法语比英语好，当时据说英语写作更利于出版，他在20岁时开始学习英语。 F.R.利维斯在《伟大的传统》中列举大量的例子批评康拉德的英语： The same vocabulary, the same adjective insistence upon inexpressible and incomprehensible mystery, is applied to the evo...
评分先说说为什么趁着la fête des morts要看这本书，其实是因为看了《金刚》，然后去刷了《现代启示录》。电影前半部分是经典的反战倾向，但到了后半部分却完全跳脱出了战争的内涵，上升到了人类对于原始文明的理解，偶像崇拜、祭祀仪式……这在现代人看来“愚昧无知”的文明，却...

郁郁葱葱的腹地，遮蔽天地的原始森林，危险的河流，黑暗之心。
评分just started my reading. my impression on this novel is that it is a book imbued with a slight absurdity. and I feel not very comfortable with Conrad's language, it has a bit of exoticness.
评分郁郁葱葱的腹地，遮蔽天地的原始森林，危险的河流，黑暗之心。
评分更喜欢The Secret Sharer，至于Heart of Darkness嘛。。。我知道它是一本好书但是我看了四五遍了都没看下去过啊。。。
评分康纳德擅长营造气氛，和Marlow一起慢慢沉入黑暗里，Marlow回来了，也没回来
