Produktinformationen zu „The Secret Sharer (ePub)“
In 'The Secret Sharer,' Joseph Conrad navigates the turbulent waters of duality and kinship against the backdrop of the Gulf of Siam. This nautically framed novella is a richly textured narrative that imbues maritime adventures with psychological depth. Conrad illustrates the internal conflict through the relationship between a young sea captain and his concealed counterpart - a fugitive harbored onboard. The work deftly employs a literary style that reflects the ambiguity of identity and loyalty, resonating with themes of isolation and introspection within the context of the Western literary canon. The culmination is a shimmering example of early Modernist prose, demonstrating Conrad's virtuosity in blending the literal with the allegorical.
Joseph Conrad's own maritime experience profoundly informs the setting and authenticity of his narrative in 'The Secret Sharer.' Drawing from his years at sea, Conrad conjures a world where order and chaos coexist, reflecting his personal journey through imperial landscapes and exposing the darker recesses of the human psyche. This story, like much of his work, delves into the complexities of solitude, authority, and moral ambiguity-a reflection of the author's perception of the contemporary world order and his place within it.
Lauded by scholars and literary enthusiasts, 'The Secret Sharer' is recommended for those seeking a cerebrally engaging narrative folded into an adventurous maritime journey. Conrad's linguistic prowess coupled with his ability to weave existential questions into a tightly spun yarn makes this short story a compelling read for anyone intrigued by the enigmas of identity and the human condition.

Autoren-Porträt von Joseph Conrad
Joseph Conrad, born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski on December 3, 1857, in Berdychiv, Ukraine, then part of the Russian Empire, was a Polish-British writer regarded as one of the greatest novelists in English literature. Despite not speaking English fluently until his twenties, Conrad pursued a literary career that focused on deep explorations of individual psychologies and moral dilemmas, often reflecting his experiences in the British merchant marine. In his writings, Conrad often navigated the unsettling boundaries between civilization and savagery, reflecting the complexities and contradictions of the human condition. His narrative style was marked by a rich prose that blended a realist perspective with subtle psychological insight and a sense of impending tragedy. Conrad's contributions to literature include the novella 'The Secret Sharer' (1910), a compelling tale of duality, identity, and camaraderie, which exemplifies his recurring themes and dark introspection. His most celebrated works also include 'Heart of Darkness' (1899), 'Lord Jim' (1900), and 'Nostromo' (1904), which further underscore his thematic concerns with existential isolation and the often-ambiguous nature of truth and morality. Conrad's influence extends beyond literature into the realm of psychology and philosophy, and his works continue to elicit extensive academic study and critical interpretation, affirming his legacy as a profound and enduring voice in world literature. He passed away on August 3, 1924, but left a lasting impact on the literary world through his unique vision and masterful storytelling.
