Rreth këtij libri elektronik
In the intricate novella 'Because of the Dollars,' Joseph Conrad once again traverses the moral complexities and psychological depth within the maritime world, a recurring theme in his work. This narrative follows the virtuous Captain Davidson as he navigates treacherous human waters, encountering the morally ambiguous character Bamtz. Conrad's powerful storytelling is infused with rich symbolism and an affecting naturalistic style, setting this piece firmly within the realm of early modernist literature. As Davidson contends with the foreboding responsibility of guarding his ship's valuable cargo, Conrad delves into the thematic interplay of integrity, greed, and the perils of good intentions amidst onerous circumstances. Conrad, born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, was a Polish-British writer whose own seafaring experiences profoundly informed his narrative approach. His works often reflect on the themes of honor, survival, and the isolation of the individual, subjects he was intimately acquainted with from his time in the merchant marine. 'Because of the Dollars' can be seen as a distillation of Conrad's persistent exploration of the human condition, an exploration made uniquely compelling by his cosmopolitan background and his mastery of the English novel. The novella is recommended for readers who appreciate the exploration of the human psyche under duress and the ambivalent nature of morality. Conrad's storytelling is as meticulous as it is reflective, offering an immersive and thought-provoking experience. Scholars and enthusiasts of early 20th-century literature will find 'Because of the Dollars' a worthy addition to the canon, and a testament to Conrad's enduring legacy as a craftsman of the written word and an astute observer of the human heart.

Rreth autorit
Joseph Conrad (1857–1924), born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, was a towering figure in English literature, distinguished by his intricate narratives and profound insights into the human psyche and the colonial experience. Conrad's early life as a mariner heavily influenced his writing; having sailed across the globe, his experiences at sea permeate his literary works. In his novella 'Because of the Dollars', Conrad explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the complexities of human motives against the backdrop of an Eastern setting, a hallmark of his fiction. Conrad's oeuvre often delves into the moral depths of his characters, challenging the notions of civilization and savagery, morality and corruption. His most acclaimed works include 'Heart of Darkness' (1899), 'Lord Jim' (1900), and 'Nostromo' (1904), each a testament to his narrative prowess and deep psychological insight. 'Heart of Darkness', in particular, has been celebrated and studied for its rich symbolism and critical view of imperialism. Conrad's narrative style is characterized by a sophisticated use of narrative technique, including framed narratives and unreliable narrators, which has placed him among the progenitors of modernist literature. Despite English being his third language, after Polish and French, Conrad's mastery of English prose secured his legacy as one of the greatest novelists in the language. His contribution to literature extends beyond the narratives; his stylistic innovations continue to influence writers and readers alike.
