书籍简介

《诺斯特罗莫》出版于1904年，是康拉德最杰出的作品之一。尽管这部作品已有百年历史，但它所描绘的拉丁美洲当今状况，却比任何近期关于该地区动荡政治生活的精彩记述都更具深度。小说叙事极具戏剧性，对亚热带地貌的刻画也极为壮观。这幅关于一个叛乱社会及其道德腐败可能性的图景，在作者干练、清醒且毫无偏见的智慧中，每一页都熠熠生辉。

Nostromo, published in 1904, is one of Conrad's finest works. Nostromo - though one hundred years old - says as much about today's Latin America as any of the finest recent accounts of that region's turbulent political life. Insistently dramatic in its storytelling, spectacular in its recreation of the subtropical landscape, this picture of an insurrectionary society and the opportunities it provides for moral corruption gleams on every page with its author's dry, undeceived, impeccable intelligence.

作者简介

About the Author

Joseph Conrad (originally Józef Teodor Konrad Nalecz Korzeniowski) was born in the Ukraine in 1857 and grew up under Tsarist autocracy. In 1896 he settled in Kent, where he produced within fifteen years such modern classics as Youth, Heart of Darkness, Lord Jim, Typhoon, Nostromo, The Secret Agent and Under Western Eyes. He continued to write until his death in 1924. Today Conrad is generally regarded as one of the greatest writers of fiction in English—his third language.
