Synopsis "Con la Soga al Cuello (in Spanish)"

Novela ambientada en el lejano oriente, narra las peripecias de un viejo lobo de marCon la soga al cuello (The End of the Tether), publicada originalmente en 1902, es una novela típicamente conradiana. Ambientada en el lejano oriente, en las costas del noroeste de la isla de Sumatra, nos cuenta el postrer viaje del capitán Whalley, un viejo lobo de mar que, por amor a su hija, a la que quiere ayudar económicamente, se ve en la obligación de aceptar un peligroso encargo al tiempo que un pesado secreto le atenaza como una soga al cuello. El capitán Whalley, como personaje, está más cerca de Dostoievski o Gorki que de Stevenson o Kipling y no es sino una víctima del destino. Pero tiene mucho de héroe, aunque sea a su pesar.Con la soga al cuello (The End of the Tether), publicada originalmente en 1902, es una novela típicamente conradiana.

View Author's Page
Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) was a Polish-British writer known for his tales about the sea, colonialism, and the psychological struggles of individuals facing adversity. His work is characterized by the exploration of themes such as morality, despair, and the absurdity of human existence. Born in Ukraine, Conrad spent much of his life as a sailor before turning to writing, which significantly influenced his narrative style.

Among his most notable works are Heart of Darkness (1899), Lord Jim (1900), and Nostromo (1904). Although he did not receive major awards during his lifetime, his influence on 20th-century literature is undeniable, being considered a precursor of modern narrative.
