SYNOPSIS
These five stories were collected and published asTales of Unrest in 1898, shortly beforeHeart of Darkness, the first of Conrad’s major novels. Ranging from the faraway and unfamiliar, where the acquisitiveness of colonial adventure is damningly exposed, to an ostensibly ordinary London household, these disparate tales display Conrad’s ability to explore and lay bare human nature.
Set in Central Africa, ‘An Outpost of Progress’ is suffused with irony and represents a ruthlessly mocking view of European imperialism. ‘Karain’ and ‘The Lagoon’ are exotic tales of the Malay Archipelago, with the former telling of disharmony and discord between Western traders and the indigenous inhabitants. ‘The Return’ recounts the story of, in the author’s own words, “a desirable middle-class town residence which somehow manages to produce a sinister effect”.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Joseph Conrad
Joseph Conrad, aliás Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, nasce na Ucrânia em 1857, em plena autocracia dos Czars. Filho de um casal polaco no exílio, fica órfão muito cedo. É criado e educado pelo tio, o responsável por aquela que seria a paixão central da sua vida: o mar. Viaja para Marselha em 1874, prestando serviço a bordo de navios mercantes franceses antes de finalmente se juntar à tripulação de um navio inglês, no ano de 1878. Em 1886 obtém nacionalidade britânica e o Certificado de Mestre no Serviço Mercantil Britânico. Oito anos mais tarde abandona o mar para se dedicar à escrita, publicando o seu primeiro romance - 'Almayer's Folly', em 1895. Continua a escrever e a publicar até à data da sua morte em 1924. Conrad é autor, entre outras obras, de Lord Jim (1900), Nostromo (1904), The Secret Agent (1907), Under Western Eyes (1911), Heart of Darkness, Coração das Trevas, 1902). É hoje considerado um dos maiores escritores de ficção em inglês, a sua terceira língua.
