A Personal Record PDF
by Joseph Conrad
- Information
Description
A Personal Record is writer Joseph Conrad's autobiography.
The writing is lyrical and atmospheric and commonly believed to be somewhat embellished.
It does, however, give great insight into his Polish childhood, his sailing adventures and his aspirations in the eyes of the British public.
It also documents the process of writing Almayer's Folly.
The preface to the work contains the much-quoted lines: "Those who read me know my conviction that the world, the temporal world, rests on a few very simple ideas; so simple that they must be as old as the hills.
It rests notably, among others, on the idea of Fidelity."
