Joseph Conrad was born on 3rd December 1857 in Berdychiv in the Ukraine, then part of the Russian Empire. His birthplace had been part of Poland which its neighbours dismembered into their own Empires.Conrad’s early years were spent in constant movement, his father was politically active and frequently in trouble trying to help re-ignite a Polish state which meant arrests and exile and the young Conrad himself suffered from ill-health, spending a year at a retreat in Kyiv recovering. By 11 he was orphaned. His education was mainly private and although he was a voracious reader, he was a poor academic student. Now, being raised by an uncle who wanted Conrad to have a worthwhile job, it was hoped that a merchant-marine career might bring out the best of him.At 16 he was sent to Marseille to embark on that adventure. Conrad himself was determined to be both a sailor and a great writer.Life on board a ship was full of adventures and experiences which included gun-running and close quarter encounters with political conspiracies.By his mid 30’s Conrad had returned to shore permanently to add his prodigious literary talents to full time writing. Although he wrote with a comprehensive command in English his spoken English was often cited as ‘horrible’. He was now also a British Citizen. Conrad brought to English Literature both narrative mastery, compelling prose and fully formed characters as well as a deeper examination of the human psyche in a wealth of work. He wrote many novels, short stories, nonfiction, and memoirs which are rightly regarded today as some of the finest in English literature. Jospeh Conrad died on the 3rd August 1924 at Bishopsbourne, Kent in England. He was 66.

Being on a ship is usually very safe. The days of sinking after hitting an iceberg are almost unthinkable. A ship goes from one port to another, seemingly without a care in the world. Advanced technology has kept this means of transport as no more uncomfortable as maybe a bit of queasiness after going up and down in a storm. But worse? No, not really possible, is it?In this volume our authors beg to differ. They would like to bring us stories where being on a ship is simply the worse place to be. Horror and terror, and worse, infest their narratives and threaten all and everything aboard. 1 - Horror Stories at Sea - An Introduction2 - The Brute by Joseph Conrad3 - The Horla by Guy De Maupassant 4 - A Fight with a Cannon by Victor Hugo5 - The Shamraken Homeward-Bounder by William Hope Hodgson6 - The Striped Chest by Arthur Conan Doyle7 - The Upper Berth by F Marion Crawford8 - The Voice in the Night by William Hope Hodgson

All words have a value, they have a truth. Even misinforming us is part of their job. But they are only words, sticks and stones etc etc.But in this volume our authors explore the use of curses. These strings of words might seem harmless enough if you don’t believe they can have any ill effect. Little by little, though, sometimes they do. Our brains connect curse with that action, that happening and now we might be seeing them as cause and effect. Perhaps that curse really does have some power, some potency, and if that is so maybe that curse is malevolent and its true purpose is not to wish us good. 1 - Stories about Curses - An Introduction2 - The Withered Arm by Thomas Hardy3 - The Arm of Mrs Egan by W F Harvey4 - The Mark of the Beast by Rudyard Kipling5 - The Monkey's Paw by W W Jacobs6 - The Brute by Joseph Conrad7 - Lost in a Pyramid (or the Mummy's Curse) by Louisa May Alcott writing as A M Bernard8 - The Ash Tree by M R James.wav9 - The Shadows on the Wall by Mary E Wilkins Freeman10 - The Spectre Bridegroom by William Hunt11 - The Mass for the Dead by Edith Nesbit12 - The Weird of the Walfords by Louisa Baldwin13 - Casting the Runes by M R James

19th Century English Love Stories Not by Jane Austen
In this series we listen to short stories that are NOT by perhaps the most well-known author of this type. But the many other rich talents in the volume may have treated the subject matter a little differently, or were perhaps just overlooked in the stampede to applaud the winner, but these authors are of equal merit. Each of their works is laden with talent, has purpose, and is rich and textured in this gloried niche of literature.1 - 19th Century English Love Stories Not by Jane Austen - An Introduction2 - The Lagoon by Joseph Conrad3 - The Mortal Immortal by Mary Shelley4 - The Mass for the Dead by Edith Nesbit5 - The Sexton's Hero by Elizabeth Gaskell6 - Diary of a Plain Girl by Amy Levy7 - Modern Melodrama by Hugo Crackanthorpe8 - Suggestion by Mrs Ernest Leverson9 - The Last House in C Street by Mrs Craik10 - The Story of Salome by Amelia Edwards

Essence of Evil – Tales of Curses, Necromancy, Dark Magic & More
Pure Evil is one of our greatest fears. No appeals to reason, no pleas of mercy or forgiveness will have the slightest impact on the mind of the oppressor. But in this volume our authors are rather more spiteful that we could at first imagine. Here they blight the lives of characters with Curses, Necromancy, Dark Magic and other assorted ghouls that care little about the fate of you or I.1 - Essence of Evil - Tales of Curses, Necromancy, Dark Magic & More - An Introduction2 - The Mark of the Beast by Rudyard Kipling3 - The Brute by Joseph Conrad4 - Herbert West - Reanimator - Part 1 by H P Lovecraft5 - Herbert West - Reanimator - Part 2 by H P Lovecraft6 - The Mass of Shadows by Anatole France7 - The Shadows on the Wall by Mary E Wilkins Freeman8 - Casting the Runes by M R James9 - Clairvoyance by D K Broster10 - Warning Whispers by A M Burrage11 - Wake Not the Dead - Part 1 by Ernst Raupach12 - Wake Not the Dead - Part 2 by Ernst Raupach13 - The Dead Hand by Wilkie Collins14 - The Beast With Five Fingers by W F Harvey15 - The Withered Arm by Thomas Hardy16 - The Arm of Mrs Egan by W F Harvey17 - The Monkey's Paw by W W Jacobs18 - The Hair by A J Alan19 - The Ash Tree by M R James.wav20 - Blood - Part 1 by Hanns Heinz Ewers21 - Blood - Part 2 by Hanns Heinz Ewers22 - Beyond the Pale by H D Everett23 - The Operation by Violet Hunt24 - Foreordained by Anthony Hope25 - The Miracle by John Davys Beresford26 - Lost Hearts by M R James27 - Lost in a Pyramid (or the Mummy's Curse) by Louisa May Alcott writing as A M Bernard28 - The Screaming Skull by F Marion Crawford29 - Young Magic by Helen Simpson30 - Witchcraft by Arthur Machen31 - A Witches Den by Helena Blavatsky32 - When I Was a Witch by Charlotte Perkins Gilman33 - The Spectre Bridegroom by William Hunt34 - The Waxworks by A M Burrage35 - The Haunted and the Haunters; or, The House and the Brain - Part 1 by Edward Bulwer Lytton36 - The Haunted and the Haunters; or, The House and the Brain - Part 2 by Edward Bulwer Lytton37 - The Ebony Frame by Edith Nesbit38 - St Johns Eve by Nikolai Gogol39 - A Fight with a Cannon by Victor Hugo40 - Carnacki, The Ghost Finder - No 1 - The Gateway of the Monster by William Hope Hodgson41 - Couching at the Door by D K Broster42 - The Death Hound by Violet Mary Firth writng as Dion Fortune43 - Marsyas In Flanders by Vernon Lee44 - The Testament of Magdalen Blair - Part 1 by Aleister Crowley45 - The Testament of Magdalen Blair - Part 2 by Aleister Crowley

[French] - Au Cœur des Ténèbres
Embarquez pour un voyage inoubliable au cœur de l'Afrique avec le chef-d'œuvre intemporel de Joseph Conrad, 'Au cœur des ténèbres'. Alors que le protagoniste Charles Marlow navigue sur le dangereux fleuve Congo, les lecteurs sont plongés dans un monde d'obscurité et d'ambiguïté, où la façade de la civilisation dissimule les instincts primaires qui se cachent en dessous. La prose envoûtante de Conrad explore profondément le psychisme humain, abordant des thèmes tels que l'impérialisme, la décadence morale, et la mince frontière entre la civilisation et la sauvagerie. Une exploration fascinante de la condition humaine, 'Au cœur des ténèbres' défie les lecteurs à affronter les ténèbres en eux-mêmes et à lutter avec les complexités de l'âme humaine. Un récit captivant et palpitant qui continue à résonner avec les lecteurs à travers les générations.

Youth, although written over a century ago, is just as relevant to hummans today and I believe for all time. Here Conrad addresses the dimming of our mortal light, that subtle relization in all of us that we are no longer as vital as we once were. That mark in time when we acknowledge to ourselves that we are aging, Growing old, dieing.
