"Сердце тьмы" - повесть польско-английского писателя Джозефа Конрада, признанного мастера приключенческого и морского романа. Впервые это произведение было опубликовано целиком в 1902 году. Во времена, когда было написано "Сердце тьмы", многие авторы идеализировали английский колониализм. Однако Конрад относился к этому явлению двойственно. Конечно, он уважал английские порядки, но притом сочувствовал местному населению колоний. Именно эти противоречия отражены в "Сердце тьмы", которое как раз...

Фрея – єдина дочка Нельсона, власника маленького острова з невеликої групи островів, які прозвали «Сім Островів». Крім краси й гострого розуму вона вирізнялася урівноваженим характером і розважливістю. Фрея стає об’єктом уваги голландського офіцера Хімскірка й англійського шкіпера Джаспера Аллена.

The Mirror of the Sea & A Personal Record = Зеркало морей, Личный рекорд: романы на английском языке
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.
