Overview

La aventura fue la primera novela de Conrad con temática americana. Relata las peripecias del joven John Kemp, que sueña con aventuras, en medio de las intrigas políticas de ingleses y españoles en lucha por mantener el control de sus respectivas colonias. La atmósfera hispanoamericana de esta novela, que transcurre en su mayor parte en Cuba, en medio de las luchas entre secesionistas jamaicanos y las autoridades españolas de la isla, reavivó sin duda la fijación infantil de Conrad por el continente sudamericano y los recuerdos de su juventud por el Caribe y las Antillas, por lo que nada más terminarla se dedicó a escribir su más larga y ambiciosa novela: Nostromo

About the Author

About The Author
Best known for his novella Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad (1857–1924) was a Polish–British author. Although not a native English speaker, Conrad came to be regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. He revolutionized the English novel with books such as The Secret Agent, Nostromo, and Typhoon. Before publishing his first novel, Almayer's Folly, in 1895, Joseph Conrad spent almost 20 years working mostly at sea as a merchant sailor.
