Synopsis

El argumento de esta pequeña pieza, la cual tuvo tres títulos (El duelo, Los duelistas, o Un asunto de honor, este último a sugerencia de su amigo Ford Madox Ford), nos lleva a las campañas napoleónicas entre 1801-1815. Más que centrarse exhaustivamente en el desarrollo militar de la época, el autor conduce su cámara hacia dos jóvenes oficiales.

About this title

About the Author:

Polish author Joseph Conrad is considered to be one of the greatest English-language novelists, a remarkable achievement considering English was not his first language. Conrad s literary works often featured a nautical setting, reflecting the influences of his early career in the Merchant Navy, and his depictions of the struggles of the human spirit in a cold, indifferent world are best exemplified in such seminal works as Heart of Darkness, Lord JimM, The Secret Agent, Nostromo, and Typhoon. Regarded as a forerunner of modernist literature, Conrad s writing style and characters have influenced such distinguished writers as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, William S. Burroughs, Hunter S. Thompson, and George Orwell, among many others. Many of Conrad s novels have been adapted for film, most notably Heart of Darkness, which served as the inspiration and foundation for Francis Ford Coppola s 1979 film Apocalypse Now.
