In May 1862, when Conrad was four, they were exiled to Vologda in Northern Russia. \u003cbr\u003e Conrad lost his mother in 1865, and was homeschooled by his father. Apollo introduced him to the works of William Shakespeare, Victor Hugo, and Polish literature. After his death in May 1869, the eleven-year-old Conrad went to live with his uncle, Tadeusz Bobrowski. \u003cbr\u003e Almayer's Folly (1895) was Conrad's first novel. In 1897, Conrad published his novella The Nigger of the ' Narcissus' . From 1898 to 1906, Conrad wrote for The Outlook, a weekly magazine. \u003cbr\u003e Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness was first published in Blackwood's Magazine in 1899 as a three-part serial story. Giving a critical insight into hypocrisy of European imperialism, it brings to light the absurdity of evil. It was published in book form in 1902 and has remained one of Conrad's best works. \u003cbr\u003e Among his other outstanding works are Lord Jim (1900); Nostromo (1904); The Secret Agent (1907); Under Western Eyes (1911); and Chance (1914). \"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 7.56 x 4.96 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 02, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuiz Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heart of Darkness\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upper Grades, 9-12\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10\u003c\/div\u003e\n                ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42696953135167,"sku":"9789386538680","price":7.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/4b0938ab72e4d9d17bc2595be039c60e.webp?v=1765007922","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/heart-of-darkness-paperback-4","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
