Overview

Novela injustamente relegada dentro de la obra de Joseph Conrad (1857-1924), la palabra Victoria que le da título no hace referencia al nombre de ninguna heroína que recorra sus páginas, sino al triunfo final que redime una existencia complicada, azarosa y difícil, como suele ser la de los personajes creados por este autor, quizá el más paradigmático de ellos Lord Jim. Situada en los exóticos parajes de los mares del Sur, la novela, más allá de su entretenida historia, presenta un elenco inolvidable de personajes y ambientes de sabor conradiano, que van desde su solitario y noble protagonista, el sueco Axel Heyst, al infame y rencoroso Schomberg, Lena, tan triste como bella y entregada, y el desalmado señor Jones junto con su secuaz Martin Ricardo.

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.
