Overview
Ce roman d'aventures est la dernière oeuvre que Joseph Conrad conduisit à son terme. Peyrol, ancien forban, se retire sur le rivage méditerranéen, non loin de la rade de Toulon, dans une période troublée - l'action se déroule sous la Convention et le Consulat - où la paix à laquelle il aspire va lui être ravie par la force des circonstances. Sur la toile de fond mi-terrestre mi-maritime, se meuvent des personnages fortement individualisés, marqués par les événements de l'époque - rivalités politiques nationales, massacres de la Terreur, etc.

About the Author

Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) grew up amid political unrest in Russian-occupied Poland. After twenty years at sea with the French and British merchant navies, he settled in England in 1894. Over the next three decades he revolutionized the English novel with books such as Typhoon, Nostromo, The Secret Agent, and especially Heart of Darkness, his best-known and most influential work.
