Selected Essays of Conrad

About This Novel
Conrad's contribution to human reading is mainly reflected in three aspects: First, he used the ocean as the stage to show human nature and human living conditions. His description of the ocean is unparalleled. Second, he greatly innovated the way of telling novels and perfected the multi-layered narrative model. Third, his elegant and thoughtful Latin style revolutionized English expressions that were dying of vitality at the end of the 19th century and inspired new vitality in English. Conrad has described all of this in his prose works "The Sea is Like a Mirror", "Personal Notes" and "Last Prose". This translation of "Selected Prose of Conrad" intends to extract the essence of Conrad's prose creation and show readers all aspects of Conrad's life, such as his homeland and childhood, his life at sea, his anti-aggression opinions, and his literary creation and criticism. The purpose is to show readers a Conrad with a magnificent life, and to pave the way for the acceptance of Conrad's novels in China.
