Descripción Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. 188 pp. First U.S. Edition; First Book. This study, while attending to almost all of Conrad's major works, concentrates particularly on Lord Jim, and follows Jim's involuntary journey down the long night of past evolutionary time as his internal regression draws him to the East, the home of Dubois' new discovered Java Man and Haeckel's Pithecanthropus atalus. Conrad, fascinated by Darwin and by contemporary psychologists and anthropologists, traces Jim's descent into his own unconscious, and since the unconscious contains all of man's biological history, Jim's voyage becomes a series of broken falls from one evolutionary stratum to another. Supported by a wealth of comparison and detail, this book explores Conrad's fictional experiment with the biological problem of the roles of courage and honor, egoism and altruism, habit and instinct, in an entirely relevant way. In the process, O'Hanlon opens a new era in Conrad studies. The off-beat travel writer's FIRST BOOK and IN PRISTINE CONDITION. Internally pristine with no underling, no highlighting, no marginal notes. See additional image provided. Size: 8vo. 0.0. Nº de ref. del artículo: 0037
