Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. This is "The Mirror of Conrad" a biography and study of the works of the great Polish / English novelist Joseph Conrad, published in 1955 by T. Werner Laurie. This is the hardcover Second Printing, complete with dust-jacket. The book is bound in red, paper-covered boards, which were given a surface texture to look like cloth. The book is illustrated from photographs ; of interest are the two photographs, one of Conrad's father, Apollo Naleez Korzeniowski; and the other of his mother, Evelina Korzeniowski, née Bobrowska. Excerpted from the jacket write-up : "For E. H. Visiak the mirror of Conrad is that long row of tales and novels which are so astonishing a legacy from the first quarter of this century. It is a mirror in parts crystal clear, and in others clouded and crazed; yet - to find the whole man - it must everywhere be scrutinised with minute attention, and this is what Mr. Visiak has sought to do. Parts of Conrad's works are frankly autobiographical; parts are reputedly so; and parts are 'pure romance' - yet these, too, reflect some essential facets of this strange, impressive, and fascinating genius. For Conrad was, indeed, a man of formidable genius, in his life as well as in his work. This biography is at once a record of that life and a study of the work it produced. E. H. Visiak has studied Conrad's works for fifty years, and some of his earlier criticism upon it was praised by Conrad himself." TITLE : The Mirror of Conrad AUTHOR : E. H.
