  • 内容简介
  • 作品中大海喜怒无常、暴虐、冷漠,对人类充满敌意。然而康拉德却钟情海洋,在他笔下,大海是个特殊的、与世隔绝的社会,它除去一切不必要的芜杂,只剩下暴虐与美德和意志的较量。海洋塑造了航海人的特质,而海洋的独特文化则是康拉德作品里不断叙述的人生舞台。

    The title character, James Wait, is a West Indian black sailor on board the merchant ship Narcissus sailing from Bombay to London. Wait falls ill with tuberculosis during the voyage, and his plight arouses the humanitarian sympathies of many of the crew, five of whom rescue him from his deck cabin during a storm, placing their own lives and the ship at risk. Captain Alistoun and the old sailor Singleton, on the other hand, remain concerned primarily with their duties as sailors and are indifferent to Wait's condition.

  • 作者简介
  •  1857年12月3日生于波兰,在上流社会的家庭中度过了童年生活。后他逃到了马赛,在那里他曾先后在许多只船上做工。在一艘英国船上当水手时,他只懂6个英语单词。20年后他成为世界著名的用英文写作的作家。《吉姆爷》(1900年)和《神秘参与者》(1912年)体现了典型的康拉德笔下的人物。他们是在一个多少有些疯狂的世界上,进行着单枪匹马斗争的人们。他精通英语,擅长航海。他把他全部的爱都倾注在描写海员的书中,描写在神秘的刚果河上航行的《黑暗的心》(1902年)是他最负盛誉的小说。

    Joseph Conrad (3 December 1857—3 August 1924) was a Polish novelist who wrote in English, after settling in England.

    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. He wrote stories and novels, often with a nautical setting, that depict trials of the human spirit in the midst of an indifferent universe. He was a master prose stylist who brought a distinctly non-English tragic sensibility into English literature. Heart of Darkness is his most famous novel.

  • 大海喜怒无常、暴虐、冷漠、对人类充满敌意。然而康拉德却钟情海洋。可以说,作者成功地描绘出人们在大海中对忠诚、团结和患难与共的号召。

  • 媒体书评
  • 康拉德之钟情于海洋与海明威之钟情于狩猎猛兽、深海垂钓、钟情于拳击台、斗牛场有着同样的奥妙。

    《水仙号上的黑鬼》——约瑟夫·康拉德的中兴之作。

    John G. Peters said of it in 2006:

    "The unfortunately titledThe Nigger of the "Narcissus" (titledThe Children of the Sea in the first American edition) is Conrad's best work of his early period. In fact, were it not for the book's title, it undoubtedly would be read more often than it is currently. At one time, it was one of Conrad's most frequently read books. In part because of its brevity, in part because of its adventure qualities, and in part because of its literary qualities, the novel used to attract a good deal of attention."
