Joseph Conrad was a Polish-British writer regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. Though he did not speak English fluently until his twenties, he was a master stylist, both lush and precise, who brought a non-English sensibility into English literature. Tales of Hearsay is a posthumous collection of four stories, published in 1911, the year after Conrad died, including The Tale which is considered to be the one of his best short stories.

Among the many people that Cosmo meets, there he meets Madame de Montevesso, a liberal aristocrat who has had the misfortune to marry an unscrupulous soldier.

Автор знаменитых романов "Лорд Джим", "Сердце тьмы", "Тайфун", классик английской литературы, Джозеф Конрад считается одним из выдающихся мастеров слова. Семнадцатилетним юношей он покинул родную землю и ступил на палубу иностранного судна. Дослужился до чина капитана дальнего плавания. Море, к которому Конрад стремился с детства, захлестнуло страницы его произведений, стало сценой, на которой мелькают трагические, смешные и грустные тени актеров - героев Конрада, пытающихся познать тайну бытия. Свой первый роман Конрад создал в тридцать восемь лет. Он отважился написать его на английском языке, который не был Конраду родным, однако это не помешало писателю достичь подлинной виртуозности во владении его изобразительными возможностями. В настоящем издании представлен лучший и самый необычный роман Конрада - "Лорд Джим", ставший вехой в литературе рубежа веков. Главное в нем - терзание духа в застенках совести, которая гонит человека по свету, от моря к морю, от залива к заливу, с перешейка на затерянные в океане скалистые острова, не давая утихнуть тревоге и внутренней боли. Перевод с английского А. Кривцовой.
