Joseph Conrad

Over the Easter vacation, I've become fascinated with Joseph Conrad again. He is a great stylist, a great moralist, a very independent thinker, a fascinating character. I know he's not easy to read, but you'll discover beautiful sentences on the way. His novella 'Heart of Darkness' can be interpreted on many levels, psychologically, politically, morally, aesthetically. If you can spare 45 minutes, listen to this - you'll learn a lot about Conrad, many of the things said about 'Heart of Darkness' also apply to 'An Outpost of Progress' AND you'll hear wonderful British accents.
