Notes on Life & Letters

Descripción

Joseph Conrad shares his literary views and provides a commentary on contemporary events in this collection of twenty six essays Comprised of twenty six varied essays published between 1898 and 1920, this volume offers insight into the facets of British Polish novelist Joseph Conrad. As Conrad states in the introductory author's note, the volume gives the reader a perspective of Conrad in a range of attitudes; 'Conrad literary, Conrad political, Conrad reminiscent, Conrad controversial'. Whilst the first half of the work focusses on Conrad's literary views with essays on Henry James and Guy de Maupassant, the second half reveals Conrad's views on events of the day, such as his reflections on the sinking of the Titanic. Includes the essay, Note on the Polish Problem, which was not published outside of this volume. According to Cagle, the book comes in three states. This is the third, with 'sea' correctly spelt in the table of contents. In the publisher's original green cloth binding. Externally, smart with just some minor shelf wear. Lightly bumped to the head and tail of the spine, with some marginal wear to the extremities. Some light offsetting to the front and rear endpapers. Internally, generally firmly bound, with some tenderness at pages 194 and 195. Pages bright and clean except at these pages. Very Good.
