Vitória (Portuguese Edition) Kindle Edition

Joseph Conrad é um escritor singular na língua inglesa. O estilo único se deve à sua formação poliglota e multicultural: Conrad nasceu na Polônia, foi educado em polonês e em francês, além de ter estudado latim, mas escolheu o inglês para escrever, mesmo que só tenha aprendido o idioma britânico aos vinte e um anos. Isso lhe confere um manejo incomum da língua, pois sua prosa tem uma cadência latina. Suas frases ondulantes criam um ritmo nunca antes visto, selvagem e — ainda assim — sofisticado.

Vitória foi finalizado em maio de 1914, mas publicado apenas no ano seguinte, já em meio à Primeira Guerra Mundial. O livro traz temas recorrentes na obra de Conrad, como a solidão, a inconformidade com o mundo, o conflito entre o mal e a esperança. Seu protagonista, Axel Heyst, instala-se em uma ilha no sul asiático, em total isolamento, após um fracasso comercial que não abala sua aceitação resignada do destino. Mas a aparição de uma jovem musicista desperta nele um instinto de proteção que o levará a uma crise de identidade e, mais tarde, ao enfrentamento de grandes perigos.

Polish author Joseph Conrad is considered to be one of the greatest English-language novelists, a remarkable achievement considering English was not his first language. Conrad s literary works often featured a nautical setting, reflecting the influences of his early career in the Merchant Navy, and his depictions of the struggles of the human spirit in a cold, indifferent world are best exemplified in such seminal works as Heart of Darkness, Lord JimM, The Secret Agent, Nostromo, and Typhoon. Regarded as a forerunner of modernist literature, Conrad s writing style and characters have influenced such distinguished writers as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, William S. Burroughs, Hunter S. Thompson, and George Orwell, among many others. Many of Conrad s novels have been adapted for film, most notably Heart of Darkness, which served as the inspiration and foundation for Francis Ford Coppola s 1979 film Apocalypse Now.

Conrad Fischer, M.D., is one of the most experienced educators in medicine today. His breadth of teaching extends from medical students to USMLE prep to Specialty Board exams. In addition, Dr. Fischer is the Associate Chief of Medicine for Educational and Academic Activities at SUNY Downstate School of Medicine, and is an Attending Physician at King's County Hospital in Brooklyn, NY. Dr. Fischer has been Chairman of Medicine for Kaplan Medical since 1999, and has held Residency Program Director positions at both Maimonides Medical Center and Flushing Hospital in New York City.

Sonia Reichert, MD., is the Director of Medical Curriculum for Kaplan Medical.

4.0 out of 5 stars woe to the man whose heart has not learned to hope, to love—and to put its trust in life!'

Primeiramente, a tradução pareceu-me simples demais tal, que me impressionou como certas passagens são quase iguais às do original em inglês.
Segundo, a história é excelente e se resume como a historia do homem que, desde jovem, foi incapaz de ter esperança na vida. Mas no fim ele...? Não, não há Vitória, não há senão nada.

3.0 out of 5 stars História arrastada, mas interessante social e antropologicamente
Reviewed in Brazil on April 26, 2022
Verified Purchase
Um livro que mostra o colonialismo, o racismo, a misoginia e a misantropia. A história é bem arrastada, bem lenta. Não é um livro que você pega e não larga mais. Muito antes pelo contrário, você pensa: tenho que terminar logo esse livro. Mas apesar da história não ser estimulante, é um livro bom para se pensar uma época em que tantas teorias absurdas sobre a humanidade como identificar psicopatia pelo formato do crânio, acreditar que ser branco é sinônimo de desenvolvimento intelectual e ser civilizado
