Sinopsis	THE LAGOON - LITTLE CLOTHBOUND CLASSICS Introducing Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world's greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. Celebrating the range and diversity of Penguin Classics, they take us from snowy Japan to springtime Vienna, from haunted New England to a sun-drenched Mediterranean island, and from a game of chess on the ocean to a love story on the moon. Beautifully designed and printed, these collectible editions are bound in colourful, tactile cloth and stamped with foil. On sea, on land, at the edges of the colonial experience, Joseph Conrad's short stories offer a glimpse of the violence, the kindness, and the mystery at humanity's heart. 'The Lagoon' tells of love and its shadow, 'The Typhoon' of the gap between man and nature, while 'The Secret Sharer' provides a brilliant exploration of truth and trust. JOSEPH CONRAD Józef Teodor Konrad Nalecz Korzeniowski was born in the Ukraine on 3 December 1857. His parents were Polish and had both died in exile by the time Conrad was eleven. His uncle then became his guardian and looked after him in Krakow until he was sixteen when he went to sea and sailed on French and British ships. He was made British citizen in 1886 and changed his name to Joseph Conrad. In 1889 Conrad visited the Congo and his experiences there inspired Heart of Darkness. In 1894 he published his first novel, Almayer's Folly and went on to write nineteen more as well as many short stories, essays and a memoir. In 1896 he married Jessie George and they later had two sons. Conrad died on 3 August 1924. Edad recomendada: Adultos. CONRAD JOSEPH Joseph Conrad Konrad Korzeniowski nació en Berdichev, Ucrania, en 1857, en una familia de la nobleza polaca. Murió en 1924, en Bishopsbourne, Kent. Durante su juventud fue marino. Luego, aunque su primera idea fue radicarse en París y ser un escritor francés, la vida lo llevó a convertirse en uno de los grandes clásicos de la literatura inglesa del pasado siglo. Sus originalísimas novelas -traducidas a todos los idiomas y llevadas al cine muchas de ellas- convierten la aventura marítima o exótica en una búsqueda iniciática a través de la prueba de la voluntad.
