Cuentos de Inquietud

by Joseph Conrad

Overview

Cinco relatos inolvidables del célebre novelista de lengua inglesa, Joseph Conrad, reunidos por su autor, bajo el título de Cuentos de inquietud. Cinco narraciones cuyo nexo es, precisamente, el desasosiego, la zozobra que se crea en el lector al sumergirse en ellos. Conrad explora en estas magistrales historias tanto mundo s lejanos y fantásticos como las oscuras fronteras del alma. La labor que trato de realizar es, por el poder de la palabra escrita, hacer que ustedes oigan, hacer que ustedes sientan..., es, ante todo, hacer que ustedes vean. Nada más que eso; y eso lo es todo.

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.
