Wiek IV jest periodem rozkwitu wymowy chrześcijańskiej na Wschodzie. Wszystko to, co wydali wielkiego od czasów Augusta w zakresie krasomówstwa sofiści i retorowie greccy i rzymscy, pod względem polotu myśli, głębokości uczucia a niekiedy i piękności formy nie może iść w porównanie z dziełami wielkich mówców chrześcijańskich IV wieku. Lecz wymowa chrześcijańska jest zupełnie odmienną od pogańskiej. Dla pogan mowa była widowiskiem a mównica była teatrem; o treść ...

Proza Josepha Conrada od ponad stu trzydziestu lat wywiera wpływ na największych artystów. „Jądro ciemności”, „Lord Jim” czy „Nostromo” stały się inspiracją dla takich mistrzów, jak T.S. Eliot, Francis Ford Coppola, Bob Dylan czy Czesław Miłosz. Trudno bowiem znaleźć pisarza, który równie przenikliwie potrafiłby opisać kondycję ludzką na styku kultur, w przecięciu tego, co stereotypowo uznajemy za cywilizowane i barbarzyńskie, oczywiste i obce. Ten wielki ironista podważa d...

Być może najbardziej aktualna powieść Josepha Conrada! Jeśli zamach za pomocą bomby ma wywrzeć wpływ na opinię publiczną, musi być czymś efektowniejszym niż akt zemsty lub terroryzmu. Musi dążyć tylko do zniszczenia. Zniszczenie i nic innego, każdy inny cel musi być wykluczony. Wy, anarchiści, powinniście dowieść czarno na białym, że jesteście bezwzględnie zdecydowani zmieść z oblicza ziemi cały ustrój społeczny. Ale jak wbić ten przerażający absurd w głowy klasy średnie...
