After too many years I returned to reading Joseph Conrad. Amazing writer! After reading so much contemporary experimental rubbish, again enjoying a great story teller. #books #JosephConrad

Er glaubt nicht an Erlösung. Auch nicht an Erkenntnis. (ARD, Wh)

Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) Polish-English novelist [b. Teodor Josef Konrad Korzeniowski]
Nostromo, Part 3 “The Lighthouse,” ch. 10 (1904)
