{"product_id":"some-reminiscence-joseph-conrad-9789355843524","title":"Some Reminiscence","description":"A Personal Record is an autobiographical work (or \"\"fragment of biography\"\") by Joseph Conrad, published in 1912.It has also been published under the titles A Personal Record: Some Reminiscences and Some Reminiscences.Notoriously unreliable and digressive in structure, it is nonetheless the principal contemporary source for information about the author's life.[citation needed] It tells about his schooling in Russian Poland, his sailing in Marseille, the influence of his uncle Tadeusz Bobrowski, and the writing of Almayer's Folly.It provides a glimpse of how Conrad wished to be seen by his British public, as well as being an atmospheric work of art.[citation needed] The \"\"Familiar Preface\"\" Conrad wrote for it includes the often quoted lines. \"\"Those who read me know my conviction that the world, the temporal world, rests on a few very simple ideas; so simple that they must be as old as the hills. It rests notably, among others, on the idea of Fidelity.\"\"Conrad wrote a new 'Author's Note' to A Personal Record for the Doubleday collected edition of his works in which he discussed his friendship with the British colonial official and writer Hugh Clifford.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Conrad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9355843526\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789355843524\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e True Sign Publishing House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/16\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.25d","brand":"Joseph Conrad","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47579946123519,"sku":"9789355843524","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bbe9a613-1b90-4748-b25a-886a0da91dfb.jpg?v=1763877741","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/some-reminiscence-joseph-conrad-9789355843524","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
