John Kemp, a young Englishman thirsting for adventure, journeys to the Caribbean where he meets an influential landowner and becomes entangled in the dangerous world of local pirates. Romance was the final of three fictional collaborations between authors Joseph Conrad and Ford Madox Ford (writing under the name of F. M. Hueffer). Forged before either author achieved literary fame and fortune, the collaboration between Conrad and Ford resulted in extensive experimentation with style and narration as each author pushed the boundaries of the existing literary forms, and is credited with introducing the unreliable narrator, one of the most important developments in modernist literature.

À propos des auteurs

Résumé
Fiche technique
Auteurs

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.
