  • Overview

    Una nueva antología de los mejores cuentos de Joseph Conrad, centrada en sus grandes temas y en su vigencia como cronista de un mundo globalizado

    Prólogo y traducción de Martín Schifino
     
    El presente volumen reúne quince de los mejores cuentos de Joseph Conrad, una selección concebida para reflejar la variedad y la evolución de su narrativa breve, escrita entre 1897 y 1917. Se recogen clásicos ambientados en el mar y en el archipiélago malayo, dos ámbitos con su sello indeleble, pero también textos que examinan la memoria de Europa o las promesas de Sudamérica, sin que falten las críticas del colonialismo ni las condenas de los extremismos nacidos en el siglo XIX. El conjunto revela a un autor de una enorme modernidad, atento no solo a las aventuras individuales, sino también a la multiplicidad étnica, política y cultural de un mundo globalizado que parece predecir el nuestro.

    «Nadie vivió más rudamente que Conrad; nadie sometió después la vida a una transmutación artística tan sabia, sesuda y paciente». -- André Gide

    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

    A new anthology of Joseph Conrad’s best stories that underscores his trademark themes and continued relevance as a chronicler of a globalized world.
     
    Prologue and translation by Martín Schifino
     
    A collection of fifteen of Joseph Conrad’s best stories, selected to reflect the variety and evolution of the short fiction he wrote between 1897 and 1917. Featuring well-known classics set at sea and in the Malayan archipelago and others that examine European memory and the promise of South America as well as the legacy of colonialism and nineteenth-century extremism. Together, they reveal a consummately modern author concerned not only with individual adventure but also the multiple ethnic, political and cultural realities of a globalized world that presages our own times.
