Situación límite

by Joseph Conrad

Overview

La aventura y la angustia de la encrucijada de un destino. Hay momentos en que todo lo que ha sido un hombre, todo lo que ha hecho, todas las experiencias, relaciones e intereses de su vida, pueden condensarse en un solo instante dramático: es entonces la situación límite, la aventura o la catástrofe, el desenlace o la reiniciación. Los testigos de uno de esos momentos excepcionales pueden no entender, el novelista sí entiende. Es la historia de una de esas situaciones límite la que narra Conrad, en una obra maestra hasta ahora desconocida para los lectores de lengua castellana.

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.
