Conrad's Darkness My Darkness
About This Novel
A collection of autobiographical essays by Nobel Prize winner V. S. Naipaul, telling the story of his past before he became a master. The past of an ordinary person reaching the pinnacle of life and becoming a master. At the age of eleven, he had the dream of being a writer; at the age of twenty-three, he started writing; at the age of twenty-five, he published his first work; at the age of sixty-nine, he won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Naipaul achieved what seemed to him an impossible dream - to become a writer. This book witnesses how a person overcomes many difficulties and begins to engage in the "noble thing" of writing; it also witnesses how a writer finds his own position and role in the world: this is Naipaul's journey of overcoming darkness. Everyone can draw the power of life from it!
