Om denne bog
A Set of Six (1908) is one of Conrad''s most versatile and varied compositions, embracing diverse interests and settings, multiple tonal qualities and a medley of short-story forms (ranging from the novella in ''The Duel'' to the anecdotal tale in ''The Informer''). The volume''s wide-ranging introduction offers a careful evaluation of the origins and sources of the individual stories, while also measuring their early reception as a published collection. Explanatory notes clarify literary and historical references, identify real-life places and people, and indicate borrowings and Gallicisms. The lengthy textual essay and its accompanying apparatus lay out the history of composition and publication, detailing interventions made by Conrad''s typists, compositors and editors. Also included are appendices, allowing the reader first-hand access to Conrad''s source material; glossaries of nautical and foreign terms; and illustrations in the form of maps and reproductions of early drafts. By returning to (and respecting) Conrad''s own early manuscript and typescript forms, this edition presents the collection and its preface in a form more authoritative than any so far printed.
