HEART OF DARKNESS黑暗之心
6.0分
Joseph Conrad
In a novella which remains highly controversial to this day, Conrad explores the relations between Africa and Europe. On the surface, this is a horrifying tale of colonial exploitation. The narrator, Marlowe journeys on business deep into the heart of Africa. But there he encounters Kurtz, an idealist apparently crazed and depraved by his power over the natives, and the meeting prompts Marlowe to reflect on the darkness at the heart of all men. This short but complex and often ambiguous story, which has been the basis of several films and plays, continues to provoke interpretation and discussion.作

Chance A Tale in Two Parts
6.0分
Joseph Conrad
Chance(1914) was the first of Conrad's novels to bring him popular success and it holds a unique place among his works. It tells the story of Flora de Barral, a vulnerable and abandoned young girl who is "like a beggar, without a right to anything but compassion." After her bankrupt father is imprisoned, she learns the harsh fact that a woman in her position "has no resources but in herself." Her only means of action is to be what she is. Flora's long struggle to achieve some dignity and happiness makes her Conrad's most moving female character. Reflecting the contemporary interest in the New Woman and the Suffragette question, Chance also marks the final appearance of Marlow, Conrad's most effective and wise narrator. This revised edition uses the English first edition text and has a new chronology and bibliography. About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Tales Of Hearsay
6.0分
Joseph Conrad
Joseph Conrad, born Jozef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, (1857-1924) was a Polish-born novelist who spent most of his adult life in Britain. He is regarded as one of the greatest English novelists, which is even more notable because he did not learn to speak English well until he was in his 20s. He is recognized as a master prose stylist. Some of his works have a strain of romanticism, but more importantly he is recognized as an important forerunner of modernist literature. His narrative style and anti-heroic characters have influenced many writers, including Ernest Hemingway, D.H. Lawrence and Graham Greene. Writing during the apogee of the British Empire, Conrad drew upon his experiences in the British Merchant Navy to create novels and short stories that reflected aspects of a world-wide empire while also plumbing the depths of the human soul. Amongst his best known works are Heart of Darkness (1899), Lord Jim (1900), Under Western Eyes (1911), Victory (1915) and The Rescue (1920).

Heart of Darkness
6.0分
Joseph Conrad
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.

北欧维京故事集
9.4分
拉斯马斯·比约恩·安德森
“萨迦”是冰岛及北欧地区的一种特有文学。 在北欧漫长的冬季里，人们躲在房子里，借由诉说古时候的传说故事打发寂寥。 约13世纪起，冰岛和挪威地区的人开始将平时口头相传的故事记述下来，这些故事大多是9世纪中叶到11世纪时的冰岛神话和英雄传奇、维京人的远征等，带有丰富的浪漫主义色彩。 维京人是人类史上最知名又最迷人的角色，但他们的历史也是最不被大众所了解的。 他们是从公元8世纪到11世纪侵扰并殖民欧洲沿海和英国岛屿的探险家、战士、商人和海盗。其足迹遍及从欧洲大陆至北极广阔疆域，欧洲这一时期被称为“海盗时期”（Viking Age）。 海盗时代初期，维京人对英格兰海岸及欧洲大陆的修道院、教堂和其他一些易于攻击之地发起猛烈进攻，他们因此被描绘成杀人如麻的掠夺者，但实际上他们既是开拓者又是侵略者，既是伟大的探险家又是无恶不作的强盗，既是勤劳的商人又是冷酷的征服者。 本书通过数个故事，为读者展现了维京人的生活、信仰、处事原则，以及当时北欧封建社会的等级，故事生动，文笔优美，是了解北欧风俗的绝佳读物。
