"So foul a sky clears not without a storm." —SHAKESPEARE "Nostromo" is the most anxiously meditated of the longer novels which belong to the period following upon the publication of the "Typhoon" volume of short stories. I don't mean to say that I became then conscious of any im-pending change in my mentality and in my attitude towards the tasks of my writing life. And perhaps there was never any change, except in that mysterious, extraneous thing which has nothing to do with the theories of art; a subtle change in the nature of the inspiration; a phenomenon for which I can not in any way be held responsible. What, however, did cause me some concern was that after finishing the last story of the "Typhoon" volume it seemed somehow that there was nothing more in the world to write about.

Joseph Conrad

Joseph Conrad

Autor

Escritor británico de origen polaco. Nació en Berdyczów, Polonia, el 3 de diciembre de 1857. Debido a la profundidad de su obra, en la que analiza los rincones más débiles y oscuros del alma humana, está considerado uno de los grandes autores en lengua inglesa del Siglo XIX. Conrad nació en el seno de una familia noble, muy activa dentro de los movimientos nacionalista polacos, algo que supuso su exilio tras la insurrección polaca sucedida en 1863. Tras quedar huérfano marchó a Marsella donde, a los 17 años, se enroló como marinero en un barco mercante. De sus experiencias como marino por las costas de Sudamérica, India o África se nutren muchos de sus posteriores relatos, así como de sus vivencias durante las guerras Carlistas en España, donde luchó del lado del Archiduque.
