Mr. Desmond MacCarthy: Active Adventure mixed with Spiritual Adventure -
Conrad
Joseph Conrad, the Polish sailor, who began to write at sea, who started a new career after he was forty, who retired from the sea to become one of the foremost novelists using our language of this century is Mr. MacCarthy's point of departure this week. For his discussion of the achievement and influence of Conrad he will examine that remarkable long-short story 'Youth,' in which the fascinating dualism of Conrad's work, physical adventure in strange places, subtly interwoven with the adventures of mind and spirit in the drams of conduct, is so masterfully displayed.
