    “He Was One of Us” – Joseph Conrad As a Home Army Author

    Yearbook of Conrad Studies (Poland) Vol. 13 2018, pp. 17–29 doi: 0.4467/20843941YC.18.002.11237 “HE WAS ONE OF US” – JOSEPH CONRAD AS A HOME ARMY AUTHOR Stefan Zabierowski The University of Silesia, Katowice Abstract: The aim of this article is to show how Conrad’s fiction (and above all the novelLord Jim) influenced the formation of the ethical attitudes and standards of the members of the Polish Home Army, which was the largest underground army in Nazi-occupied Europe. The core of this army was largely made up of young people who had been born around the year 1920 (i.e. after Poland had regained her independence in 1918) and who had had the opportunity to become acquainted with Conrad’s books during the interwar years. During the wartime occupation, Conrad became the fa- vourite author of those who were actively engaged in fighting the Nazi regime, familiarizing young conspirators with the ethics of honour—the conviction that fighting in a just cause was a reward in itself, regardless of the outcome. The views of this generation of soldiers have been recorded by the writers who were among them: Jan Józef Szczepański, Andrzej Braun and Leszek Prorok. Keywords: Joseph Conrad, World War II, Poland, Polish Home Army, Home Army, Warsaw Uprising 1 In order to fully understand the extraordinary role that Joseph Conrad’s novels played in forming the ethical attitudes and standards of those Poles who fought in the Home Army—which was the largest underground resistance army in Nazi-occupied Europe—we must go back to the interwar years, during which most of the members of the generation that was to form the core of the Home Army were born, for it was then that their personalities were formed and—perhaps above all—it was then that they acquired the particular ethos that they had in common.

    Who Put Kurtz on the Congo? Harry White, Irving L. Finston Conradiana, Volume 42, Number 1-2, Spring/Summer 2010, pp. 81-92 (Article) Published by Texas Tech University Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/cnd.2010.0010 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/452495 Access provided at 9 Oct 2019 05:10 GMT from USP-Universidade de São Paulo Who Put Kurtz on the Congo? HARRYWHITEANDIRVINGL.FINSTON Our article included in this issue, “The Two River Narratives in ‘Heart of Darkness,’” showed that Joseph Conrad imagined Kurtz’s Inner Station to be located on the Kasai River and not on the Congo as has been gener- ally assumed. We now ask how one of the most important, influential, and widely read and studied works of modern fiction has been so con- sistently and unquestioningly misread for so long on such a basic level. In what follows we show that something akin to a cover-up was initi- ated by the author regarding the location and direction of Charlie Mar- low’s voyage. We will then reveal the primary source for many of the current interpretations and misinterpretations of “Heart of Darkness” by showing how one very influential scholar was the first to place Kurtz’s station on the wrong river. Nowhere in any of his writings did Conrad report that Marlow’s venture into the heart of darkness followed his own voyage from Stan- ley Pool to Stanley Falls. Nowhere in “Heart of Darkness” does it say that Marlow voyages up the Congo to find Kurtz.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original subm itted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into die film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

Historians seeking to penetrate the thoughts and emotions of ‘ordinary’ single middle-class women living during the Late Victorian and Edwardian years have a challenging task. These women rarely left personal documents for historians to analyse. Novels, particularly popular or bestselling novels, represent one pathway into this realm. Popular novels are numbered among the few written sources that are available to help historians to fill in some of the absences in the conventional historical record.

TRANSLATOR'S NOTE Just as the poet must seek the appropriate word to convey an idea with sufficient vigor and yet obtain the cadence and rhyme necessary for the finished product, so also the translator must achieve the proper expression in one language to convey accurately and with equal vigor the author's ideas as expressed in his original language. In this process the languages in the translator's mind tend to lose their identity and one language easily assumes the idiosyncrasies of the other. I am therefore particularly grateful to Dr. Wallace L. Goldstein for his assistance in indicating flaws in grammatical constructions which would have resulted from the merging of the two languages.

  • 6. Nostromo and the Mechanics of History

    6. Nostromo and the Mechanics of History

    6. Nostromo and the Mechanics of History The process of history becomes Nostromo’s dominant theme through Conrad’s narrative strategies concerning time, place, and characters. Despite its title the focus of Nostromo is not on a particular figure but on a whole country, the fictional South American state Costaguana. Although the central action of the novel – the events leading up to the foundation of the Occidental Republic – spans just a few days in 1890 (cf. Watts, Nostromo 61-66), there are countless references to the past as far back as the Spanish Conquest in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and to about ten years to the future of the secession of Sulaco from Costaguana. Conrad’s use of such a large time-scale enables him to give the reader multiple perspectives of the main events. He can zoom in on the characters involved in the War of Separation but he can show at the same time that this upheaval is just one of many similar ones that have occurred in the past and will occur again in the future. Not only the treatment of time and place thus draws attention to the process of history but also the social panorama that is presented. In the course of the narrative we come across representatives of numerous classes and ethnic groups that constitute the society of the country. This enormous canvas facilitates the identification of the characters with a certain social class and/or ethnic group and allows for the action of the novel to be analysed in abstract political and historical terms.

Who was Abraham Fabert, and why should an account of him be written in English ? The biography now offered to the public had this natural origin. Many years ago, while travelling for rest and recre- ation, the author picked up at an Edinburgh book-stall a copy of the Vie de Fahert par le Pere Barre, and read it for amusement. Until then he knew no more of Fabert than this—that he was a Marshal of France whose statue he had seen at Metz, that his name figures in the Appendix to Voltaire's Steele de Louis XIV., and that it was mentioned here and there by other historians. The two little brown volumes of the Canon of St. Genevieve, however, disclosed the character of a man, so difteront in many respects from that of the French soldiers of his time, that the author was led to push his inquiries farther and deeper ; and thus he came to admire, and felt constrained to write out his estimate of the adventures, attainments, and high qualities of this Fabert.
