Description
Il nome di Conrad è indissolubilmente legato ai mari e alle coste di mondi esotici. Questo
romanzo, ambientato nello scenario suggestivo delle isole della Malesia, rese con particolare
intensità, racconta una storia d'amore e di morte. Ne sono coinvolti Lena, giovane e sfortunata
suonatrice di un'orchestra femminile a Surabaya; il barone Heyst, signore aristocratico troppo
raffinato per la volgarità di questo mondo, «uomo che tutto disprezza e non crede in nulla»; e un
variopinto campionario di farabutti. In una caccia senza respiro all'uomo e a un chimerico
tesoro, entrano in scena avventurieri d'ogni risma: Jones, diabolico e freddamente razionale;
Ricardo, dagli istinti belluini; Schomberg, personificazione di una malizia ottusa; Pedro,
concentrato di forza bruta. Romanzo di un destino ineluttabile, Vittoria (1915) ha le apparenze
del racconto di avventure a tinte forti, che Conrad prediligeva, ma è anche una sottile indagine
sulle ambiguità del rapporto amoroso, e sulle violenze segrete che possono nutrirlo. E
nell'analisi di questa zona d'ombra che Conrad risulta particolarmente vicino alla sensibilità del
lettore d'oggi: là dove appunto descrive l'amore che degenera e si corrompe in tormento, tanto
per chi ama come per chi vorrebbe, ma non sa più amare. Prima edizione 1952 nei «Narratori
stranieri tradotti».
Insightful reviews
umberto: This book is all right if you're familiar with Joseph Conrad's style of writing and his
richly-described literary texture. I mean we can learn new unfamiliar words there since it has
been influenced by the Victorian literature and culture. Therefore, I found it tough, tedious and
dizzy while reading Parts I-III. However, reading Part IV was better, more enjoyable, still
mysterious but tragically-ended.
Jim Leckband: Conrad really nailed it with this one. In the preface he writes that he wrote it as a
single piece - not as a serial published in periodicals - and it shows. The narrative hijinks that he
deployed in his earlier novels has been tamed. This makes this novel succeed as a thriller.
But like the books of John le Carré, another author I'm reading the complete works of, "Victory"
is a thriller with benefits. These benefits are astounding characters, unmatched psychological
depth and the best writing from sentence to sentence you could find.
The plots of the characters arise from the characters and their blindness. The main character
Axel Heyst is a wanderer that nobody can fathom, especially when he settles on a island in the
South Pacific where his failed coal company was.
The beginning of the story resides in the hotel that the clueless but malevolent Schomberg runs.
He hates Heyst (because of misunderstanding him) and this sets the whole novel in motion,
resulting in two bad characters paying Heyst a visit.
Conrad throws in a lot of symbolism and references - e.g. Adam and Eve and the introduction of
evil, The Tempest (particularly Caliban in the brute Pedro), and Hamlet (Heyst's ambivalence to
action). These are subtly called out and serve to enhance the reader's experience rather than a
"Look at me, I'm being clever" kind of thing.
Isa Kerr: Initial reactions: Instantly draws you in. Conrad's powerful command of description and
forward-moving plot make for a smooth read. What I liked the most was his thorough study of
each important character. The relationship between Lena and Heyst is complex and not a
simple love story. Ricardo and Mr. Jones offer beguiling studies of evil. I also got a sense of
how one cannot ever be too sure of another body's intentions and vice versa, making for
uncertainty, and the cause of all of Heyst's unlucky drama in the first place.
Jessica: What an odd novel! it all started so incongruously, so gradual and plodding. i did not
comprehend the place it should go. I had not anything to tie me to it. i did not care in regards to
the characters - their story was once being advised by means of an odd narrator,
separately.And then the characters met - and all at once the narrator vanished, and the
unconventional particularly all started for me. midway through!It turned fascinating and a secret
to solve! What have been the motives? who is mendacity to who? Who should still he trust?
Who may still she follow? I really, quite enjoyed the final a part of this book. The final 10% is
riveting. actually one of many most unearthly reports I had in reading. Is there how to have the
second one part with out the first? i am not sure...
Lindsey: i admire Joseph Conrad, I forgot how a lot until eventually I picked this up :) He has
particularly fascinating insights into the darkish part of human nature- a subject matter that i
locate totally interesting for a few reason. His representations of ladies and minorities depart
whatever to be desired, yet his illustration of humanity as an entire is easily worthy researching.
I placed this booklet in my vintage monster books because, just like the count number within the
girl in White, Mr. Jones is a monster even supposing in human form. i am watching for studying
extra of Conrad's paintings within the close to future.
Patrick McCoy: one in every of my favourite writers is Graham Greene and one if his favourite
writers is Joseph Conrad-thus i believe he merits my cognizance therefore alone. yet Conrad
casts a miles greater shadow than that. I learn center of Darkness in highschool and used to be
inspired by means of the artistry of the tale up to the movie it later inspired. I felt the necessity to
learn extra Conrad in my post-college days and skim Lord Jim and in recent times and the key
Agent because it used to be referenced seriously within the submit September 11 days through
newshounds attempting to make feel of the terrorist attacks. i discovered myself analyzing
Victory due to the fact separate authors in interviews within the Believer’s e-book of Writers
chatting with Writers acknowledged they continuously learn this ebook sooner than writing their
subsequent novels. it's set within the Indonesian isles of the South China Sea and is unique by
means of place alone, however it unique in its portrayal lonely broken Europeans living there.
it's a relatively basic tale that's painstakingly instructed in sophisticated info of personality and
emotion-it turns out humans had extra time to leisurely learn in Conrad’s time I guess. it sort of
feels to finish a bit of ambiguously regardless of additionally finishing tragically. I’ll be again to
learn extra Conrad within the future-it used to be time good spent.
