约瑟夫·康拉德,全名约瑟夫·特奥多·康拉德·科尔泽尼奥夫斯基,生于波兰的英国小说家,是少数以非母语写作而能成名的作家,被誉为现代主义的先驱。年青时当海员,中年才改行写作,作品包括《黑暗之心》(1899年)、《吉姆老爷》(1900年)、《密探》(1907年)等。
'Whenever two Russians come together, the shadow of autocracy is with them...haunting the secret of their silences.' First published in 1911, Under Western Eyes traces the experiences of Razumov, a young Russian student of philosophy who is uninvolved in politics or protest. Against his will he finds himself caught up in the aftermath of a terrorist bombing directed against the Tsarist authorities. He is pulled in different directions - by his conscience and his ambitions, by powerful opposed political forces, but most of all by personal emotions he is unable to suppress. Set in St Petersburg and Geneva, the novel is in part a critical response to Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment but it is also a startlingly modern book. Viewed through the 'Western eyes' of Conrad's English narrator, Razumov's story forces the reader to confront the same moral issues: the defensibility of terrorist resistance to tyranny, the loss of individual privacy in a surveillance society, and the demands thrown up by the interplay of power and knowledge. This new edition is based on the first English edition text, and has a new chronology and bibliography.

评分这个narrator太折磨人了
评分Conrad真是个厉害人物,这种“谍战/反恐”题材竟然也能如此不落俗套(当然称其为“政治小说”或许更靠谱些),除了体现出Conrad本人的政治观外,最核心的还是身份焦虑与个人认同危机吧,至于传说中的“印象主义”还真没怎么看出来
