I discovered Conrad late in life. I am so glad I did, he is the most wonderful story teller and a literary master.

No comments? This was terrific! Thank you for taking the time to share! 🌻

Thanks! 😀

Thanks for this great video on Conrad having just finished Typhoon and Heart of Darkness it was very interesting. While reading I usually do a little background on the author and I was astonished to find out he was not English. I was even more surprised reading Typhoon, the prose is terrific and it's a wonderful book. Kipling's comment about a really good translation of a foreign novel is interesting but something I will take into account for future reading.

I adore Conrad. I’ve read everything he ever wrote

[@maghrebforever2012]

Shared. I had taken to purchasing multiple copies of his novels. Truly, obsessed with him when first encountered.

Considering English is Conrads third language its unbelieable how masterfull his command was

[@tadhgcronin175]

I feel the same. Typhoon was a wonderful read.

[@psychesoap]

Sorry about this but your playlist is ordered 2,1,3,4,5 and not from part 1-5. You would probably benefit from that.

[@heartforhistory1]

Thanks, it should be fixed now!

C rappy video. The narrator's British accent is too strong and the music is too loud compared to the narration.
