JOSEPH CONRAD (1857-1924) was one of the most remarkable figures in English literature. Born in Poland, and originally named Josef Teodor Konrad Walecz Korzeniowski, he went to sea at the age of seventeen and eventually joined the crew of an English vessel, becoming a British citizen in the process. He retired from the sea in 1894 and took up the pen, writing all his works in English, a language he had only learned as an adult. Despite this, he was a master stylist, both lush and precise. His outsider's eye gave him special insights into the moral dangers of the great age of European empires. In his prefactory note to _The Nigger of the Narcissus,_ Conrad wrote, "A work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line. And art itself may be defined as a single-minded attempt to render the highest kind of justice to the visible universe, by bringing to light the truth, manifold and one, underlying its every aspect. . . ."

现实主义和神秘主义气氛。叙述声音是全知的，超脱的，不介入感情，很像福楼拜的风格。但康拉德是以第一人称回忆的方式讲述过去发生的事情，如同他在后来的小说中所做的处理。康拉德小说的一个重要叙述特点就是多重声音的混用，叙述声音从非人格化到第一人称复数再到第一人称单数的变化，与作者在小说里所表现的海员从孤独到团结再到分离的主题有对应关系。不仅叙述者的身份，连作者的语言和态度都在不断变化，以适合表现主题的叙述... 现实主义和神秘主义气氛。叙述声音是全知的，超脱的，不介入感情，很像福楼拜的风格。但康拉德是以第一人称回忆的方式讲述过去发生的事情，如同他在后来的小说中所做的处理。康拉德小说的一个重要叙述特点就是多重声音的混用，叙述声音从非人格化到第一人称复数再到第一人称单数的变化，与作者在小说里所表现的海员从孤独到团结再到分离的主题有对应关系。不仅叙述者的身份，连作者的语言和态度都在不断变化，以适合表现主题的叙述需要。作者一会儿是船上的海员，参与其他海员的劳作，一会儿仿佛置身船外，以超脱的身份对船员的行动品头论足。如果我们不从严格的逻辑角度来考察作为船上的一员的叙述者，如何可能知道威特与唐金之间谈话的细节。 (展开)

The narrator forgets who himself is from time to time; Interminable direct quotes that are unnecessary; but see how Conrad had evolved in later works!

叙述者是有限的全知，知道所有船员心里的疑虑和恐惧，“we”是针对的来自外来者的未知的wait。到了结尾才第一次出现个体的“I”, 也象征着wait死之后，船到岸之后community的解体。wait也许象征的不是肉体上的死亡，而是到岸之后community的死亡，海洋精神的死亡，wait也许代表着这个集体从登上narcissus开始就存在的疑虑，他的死亡也许是船员一次成功的自我欺骗。看到到岸之后船... 叙述者是有限的全知，知道所有船员心里的疑虑和恐惧，“we”是针对的来自外来者的未知的wait。到了结尾才第一次出现个体的“I”, 也象征着wait死之后，船到岸之后community的解体。wait也许象征的不是肉体上的死亡，而是到岸之后community的死亡，海洋精神的死亡，wait也许代表着这个集体从登上narcissus开始就存在的疑虑，他的死亡也许是船员一次成功的自我欺骗。看到到岸之后船员和陆地的格格不入，不由的心酸。 (展开)
