Synopsis "Azar (in Spanish)"

Si bien de algún modo AZAR (1913) resulta un caso atípico dentro de la obra de Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) por contar con una heroína romántica y sentimental redimida finalmente por el amor y por tener un final feliz, no es menos cierto que la novela incide en uno de sus temas recurrentes, como es el del aislamiento emocional. Flora de Barral, hija de un financiero especulador y desaprensivo, pasa por una azarosa existencia llena de soledad interior hasta alcanzar, no sin la intervención de la desgracia, el desvanecimiento de las tinieblas que ensombrecen su vida. Otras obras de Joseph Conrad en esta colección: «El corazón de las tinieblas» (BA 0906), «Lord Jim» (BA 0821), «Bajo la mirada de Occidente» (BA 0822), «El pirata» (BA 0824), «Tifón» (BA 0905), «Nostromo» (BA 0907), «El agente secreto» (L 5662).(*CR*)

Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) was a Polish-British writer known for his tales about the sea, colonialism, and the psychological struggles of individuals facing adversity. His work is characterized by the exploration of themes such as morality, despair, and the absurdity of human existence. Born in Ukraine, Conrad spent much of his life as a sailor before turning to writing, which significantly influenced his narrative style.

Among his most notable works are Heart of Darkness (1899), Lord Jim (1900), and Nostromo (1904). Although he did not receive major awards during his lifetime, his influence on 20th-century literature is undeniable, being considered a precursor of modern narrative.
