«Личное дело» – это автобиография Джозефа Конрада, его творческое и гражданское кредо. Это история превращения из пана Корженевского в британского модерниста. Здесь есть место истории семьи, морским приключениям, рефлексии об отношениях с чужим языком (Конрад выучил английский уже подростком), рассуждениям о русской литературе и воспоминаниям о любимой собаке.
Аннотация
Фрея – єдина дочка Нельсона, власника маленького острова з невеликої групи островів, які прозвали «Сім Островів». Крім краси й гострого розуму вона вирізнялася урівноваженим характером і розважливістю. Фрея стає об’єктом уваги голландського офіцера Хімскірка й англійського шкіпера Джаспера Аллена. Проте перевагу віддає шкіперу, за що Хімскірк мститься: він затримує бриг Аллена й усвідомлено веде судно на риф, де він і гине. Джаспер же найбільше у світі любив тільки бриг і Фрею, і питання в тому, кого з них він любив більше.
Аннотация
HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.‘The girl he had come across … that human being so near and still so strange, gave him a greater sense of his own reality than he had ever known in all his life.’Damaged by his father’s nihilistic philosophy, Axel Heyst has withdrawn from the world to live in near-isolation on the island of Samburan. His solitude ends when he rescues an English girl from her preying patron, but their heady existence will face tragic consequences when the outside world intrudes once more.First published in 1915, ‘Victory’ is arguably the most psychologically complex of Conrad’s novels, in which he creates an extraordinarily compelling love story and one of great erotic power: Axel and Lena are what set this novel apart from the other works of one of English language’s greatest writers.This Collins Classics edition is published to coincide with the 100th anniversary of this remarkable novel.

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.‘Who could tell what forms, what visions, what faces, what forgiveness he could see in the glow of the west!’Jim is a well-bred young romantic who takes to the seas with hopes of adventure and the aspiration to prove his mettle. When the boat he sails in threatens to sink, Jim abandons ship in fear in order to save himself, leaving the other passengers to their fate. However, the ship does not sink and guilt-ridden Jim admits to the maritime court of inquiry that he deserted the boat and is consequently stripped of his sailing papers. Blighted by his own cowardice, Jim’s subsequent self-exile to a remote Malaysian trading post gives Conrad the opportunity to explore the question of moral identity and through his hero, he embodies the values and deterioration of the declining empire of late Victorian Britain. With its rich descriptions of an unknown, exotic world and beautifully constructed prose, Lord Jim is considered one of Conrad’s greatest works.

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.‘They swarmed numerous like locusts, industrious like ants, thoughtless like a natural force, pushing on blind and orderly and absorbed, impervious to sentiment, to logic – to terror, too, perhaps.’Considered one of Conrad’s most political works, The Secret Agent is set against the dismal backdrop of a drab and alienating London, and tells the story of the bombing of Greenwich Observatory by a group of anarchists.Shopkeeper, spy and reluctant anarchist Mr Verloc becomes embroiled in this terrorist plot, exploiting his mentally disabled brother-in-law Stevie in the process, leading to tragic circumstances.

HarperCollins is proud to present a range of best-loved, essential classics.‘The reaches opened before us and closed behind, as if the forest had stepped leisurely across the water to bar the way for our return. We penetrated deeper and deeper into the heart of darkness.’At the peak of European Imperialism, steamboat captain Charles Marlow travels deep into the African Congo on his way to relieve the elusive Mr Kurtz, an ivory trader renowned for his fearsome reputation. On his journey into the unknown Marlow takes a terrifying trip into his own subconscious, overwhelmed by his menacing, perilous and horrifying surroundings.The landscape and the people he meets force him to reflect on human nature and society, and in turn Conrad writes revealingly about the dangers of imperialism.
