Conrad J., Almayer s Folly. a story of an Eastern river — 2018
Joseph Conrad's first novel Almayer's Folly is a tale of personal tragedy as well as a broader meditation on the evils of colonialism. Set in the lush jungle of Borneo in the late 1800s, it tells of the Dutch merchant Kaspar Almayer, whose dreams of riches for his beloved daughter, Nina, collapse under the weight of his own greed and prejudice. Conrad established in Almayer's Folly the themes of betrayal, isolation, and colonialism that he would explore throughout the rest of his life and work.

Conrad J., Within the Tides — 1978 (Penguin Modern Classics)
From "The Planter of Malata": "Here we don't consider him a monster," said the newspaper man looking at his visitor thoughtfully. "Probably not. You are used to see his face and to see other faces. I don't know how it is that, when I come to town, the appearance of the people in the street strike me with such force. They seem so awfully expressive." "And not charming." "Well -- no. Not as a rule. The effect is forcible without being clear. . . ." This volume also includes "The Partner," "The Inn of the Two Witches," and "Because of the Dollars."

Conrad J., The Rescue — 1978
Civil war rages between the native tribes of the Malay straits. Captain Tim Wingard sides with the Rajah Hassim. But as is the case with so much in the Far East, nothing is quite straightforward and events unfold by indirection. An English yacht blunders into this confusion and runs aground. When Wingard goes aboard to offer assistance, the crew gives him insolence, not gratitude. He prepares to leave...then sees a woman. She captivates him, literally holds him spellbound. It is a spell that soon wrecks all his hopes and leads to the failure of the important cause to which he is bound.

Английский с Джозефом Конрадом. Аванпост прогресса — 2016 (Метод обучающего чтения Ильи Франка)

Уникальность метода заключается в том, что запоминание слов и выражений происходит за счет их повторяемости, без заучивания и необходимости использовать словарь. Для широкого круга лиц, изучающих английский язык и интересующихся английской культурой

Conrad J., Heart of Darkness — 2013 (Collins Classics)
This novel exposes the myth behind colonisation whilst exploring the three levels of darkness that the protagonist, Marlow, encounters--the darkness of the Congo wilderness, the darkness of the European's cruel treatment of the natives, and the unfathomable darkness within every human being for committing heinous acts of evil. Conrad himself was exposed to the brutality of European attitudes in the Congo when he worked as a captain of a steamboat on the Congo river. Conrad, as shown through this novella, was disgusted by the cruelty, futility, and lust for ivory. This is a profound, thought provoking novel that challenges the reader to question their own morals and values to "The Horror" the novel exposes them to

Conrad J., The Nigger of the Narcissus. Typhoon and Other Stories — 1983
THE NIGGER OF THE 'NARCISSUS' contaons, more than anything else he wrote, the essence of his experience at sea and of his views on the practical conduct of life. In THE NIGGER the author uses the Kipling touch in his description of life in the forecastle of a sailing-ship-'a fragment detached from the earth...like a small planet'. Dominating the scene is the figure of Allistoun, the vessel's master.Typhoon is the long short story in which the unimaginative Captain MacWhirr fights a steamship through a violent Pacific storm with a boat-load of cowering coolies. In the same volume are FALK (later described by the author as 'an episode in the story of my first command'), ARMY FOSTER, and TOMORROW

Conrad J., Twixt Land and See — 1982 (Penguin Modern Classics)
New texts of Joseph Conrad's modern classic 'The Secret Sharer' and of two other tales appear in this edition of 'Twixt Land and Sea with numerous words, sentences, and entire paragraphs restored from Conrad's manuscripts and typescripts. Written while he was working on Under Western Eyes, these stories, when collected together in 1912, marked the turning point in Conrad's professional fortunes that Chance would soon confirm. Published for the first time as Conrad meant them to be, these authoritative texts are accompanied by a new Introduction that discusses their sources, composition, and publication, and their reception up to our time. The Notes explain nautical, geographical, and historical references and are supplemented by diagrams, maps, and other illustrations. A textual essay and apparatus examine the revisions, excisions, divisions, and censorship the tales underwent, which till now have been reflected in editions unduly trusted by countless readers.

Conrad J., Tales of Unrest — 1983
We knew him in those unprotected days when we were content to hold in our hands our lives and our property. None of us I believe has any property now and I hear that many negligently have lost their lives; but I am sure that the few who survive are not yet so dim-eyed as to miss in the befogged respectability of their newspapers the intelligence of various native risings in the Eastern Archipelago.
