Joseph Conrad, Ford Madox Ford
3 Bücher
- If you want to watch Conrad and Ford try their hands at a pirate yarn, this is it: young John Kemp drifting into Cuban intrigue, the sinister O'Brien, a dreamlike siege at the Casa Riego. Slower and stranger than a true swashbuckler, but the atmosphere lingers.
- You’re in for a strange, chilly political fantasy, where a journalist narrator encounters the calculating “Inheritors,” beings who claim the future belongs to them. It’s more interested in moral compromise and ideas than momentum, but its unsettling fourth-dimensional premise lingers.
- A short confession addressed to a married woman by a man who has been quietly embezzling a trust and expects to die for it. Conrad and Ford wrote it together and barely claimed it afterward; a curio, but the feverish voice holds for its hour.
