Description

Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski (Joseph Conrad) nació en la ciudad ucraniana de Berdyczów en 1857 en una familia de la nobleza polaca. A la muerte de sus padres, Conrad queda a cargo de su tío materno. Devora libros de aventuras y memorias de exploradores, y a los diecisiete años viaja a Francia con vistas a prepararse para la vida marinera. En 1876 se embarca en el Saint Antoine rumbo al Caribe, donde se ve mezclado en actividades de contrabando. En 1886 adquiere la nacionalidad británica, se hace capitán de navío y viaja por el archipiélago malayo y Australia. Tres años después recorre el río Congo al mando de un vapor, experiencia que le inspiraría El corazón de las tinieblas (1899). A su regreso a Inglaterra decide dedicarse por entero a la literatura. En 1895 aparece su primera novela, La locura de Almayer y contrae matrimonio con Jessie George, una humilde mecanógrafa. Entabla amistad con H.G. Wells y Henry James y comienza a trabajar en su novela Lord Jim (1900). Vive periodos de penuria económica, aunque su fama va creciendo poco a poco. En 1917 concluye La línea de sombra, que lo consolida como el autor más importante de su generación. En 1923 visita los Estados Unidos, y a su regreso fallece tan sólo un año después. Conrad aseguraba que «hace falta una narración a menor escala, una historia corta, para calibrar la mano de un maestro», y siempre ideaba sus narraciones a partir de un pequeño episodio que luego iba desarrollando hasta la extensión que creía natural. La presente edición recoge los siete volúmenes de cuentos que reúnen toda la narrativa breve de Joseph Conrad, e incluye las novelas cortas El corazón de las tinieblas, La soga al cuello y Tifón.
