Synopsis

Author Joseph Conrad described, in his essay collection The Mirror of the Sea (1906) and his novel The Arrow of Gold (1919), having, during his time in Marseilles, France, smuggling arms to Spain for the Carlist supporters of Carlos de Borbón y de Austria-Este, pretender to the Spanish throne. Although it likely he was involved in something other than weapons.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Conrad is regarded as one of the great novelists in English, though he did not speak the language fluently until he was in his twenties (and then always with a marked Polish accent). He wrote stories and novels, predominantly with a nautical setting, that depict trials of the human spirit by the demands of duty and honour. Conrad was a master prose stylist who brought a distinctly non-English tragic sensibility into English literature. While some of his works have a strain of romanticism, he is viewed as a precursor of modernist literature. His narrative style and anti-heroic characters have influenced many authors.
