The Mirror of the Sea & A Personal Record = Зеркало морей; Личный рекорд: романы на англ.яз. Conrad J.

Автор: Conrad J., «The Mirror of the Sea & A Personal Record = Зеркало морей; Личный рекорд: романы на англ.яз»: These works are unique in Conrad’s oeuvre in being openly autobiographical — but in scope and literary form they differ widely. In The Mirror Conrad explores his vast knowledge of the sea in an era when the sailing ship gave way, after thousands of years, to steam. A Personal Record is Conrad’s account of himself, his cultural background, and the central motives in his life as a seaman and a writer separated from the country where he was born.
