Altı Öykü

The master writer Joseph Conrad, who brought the sound of the seas to his novels, brought together the stories he wrote at different times in Six Stories. The author infiltrates the political tension we are familiar with from his novels and the adventurous spirit that overflows from battlefields, deserted islands, and the decks of ships into his stories.

The first story of the book, "Gaspar Ruiz", which was adapted into a movie, tells the life of a strong soldier who escaped captivity during the wars of independence in Spain, and also extends to a love story. In the second story, "Informant", the reader hears the decryption of an organization agent from the mouth of a famous writer, and in the third story, "Hoyrat", he encounters a maritime story with the realism and harshness expected from Conrad. The story "An Anarchist" tells the story of a "so-called anarchist" being hopelessly "condemned" on an island; The longest story of the book, called "Duel", tells the story of the conflict between two officers in Napoleon's army that spans a lifetime. The last story of the book, "Il Conde", is a "sad" story of fraud that happened to a friendly gentleman whom the author encountered in Italy.

We present these stories, which are traces of Conrad's mastery in novel writing and are inspired by "the truth itself", as the author puts it, with the author's note and Hasan Fehmi Nemli's careful translation.

"A magnificent personality Conrad positions himself against the dark sides of life, but his own art transforms him into a Shakespearean nihilist."
