Critics consider the book one of Conrad’s finest pieces of literature and a companion to another one of his novels, The Secret Agent. In Part First, an English teacher in Geneva narrates the personal record of Kyrilo Sidorovitch Razumov, a university student in St. Petersburg in the early 1910s. As he never knew his parents, Razumov holds no family connections. Although revolutionary ideas are swirling in the air, he takes no part in them, aims for a middle-class life, and considers Russia his family. Meanwhile, the savage Minister of State Mr. de P is assassinated by a pair of terrorists, although the bomb also kills the minister’s footman, one of the terrorists, and several people nearby. Razumov enters his apartment to find a fellow student, Victor Haldin, claiming it was he who murdered the minister. Haldin’s escape plan was faulty and he asks Razumov for help, who reluctantly agrees. Haldin asks him to find Ziemiantich, who was supposed to lend his assistance in the escape.

Book excerpt: “Enlightening, compassionate, superb” —John Le Carré Winner of the 2018 Cundhill History Prize A New York Times Book Review Notable Book of 2017 One of the New York Times 100 Notable Books of 2017 A visionary exploration of the life and times of Joseph Conrad, his turbulent age of globalization and our own, from one of the most exciting young historians writing today Migration, terrorism, the tensions between global capitalism and nationalism, and a communications revolution: these forces shaped Joseph Conrad’s destiny at the dawn of the twentieth century. In this brilliant new interpretation of one of the great voices in modern literature, Maya Jasanoff reveals Conrad as a prophet of globalization. As an immigrant from Poland to England, and in travels from Malaya to Congo to the Caribbean, Conrad navigated an interconnected world, and captured it in a literary oeuvre of extraordinary depth. His life story delivers a history of globalization from the inside out, and reflects powerfully on the aspirations and challenges of the modern world. Joseph Conrad was born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski in 1857, to Polish parents in the Russian Empire. At sixteen he left the landlocked heart of Europe to become a sailor, and for the next twenty years travelled the world’s oceans before settling permanently in England as an author. He saw the surging, competitive "new imperialism" that planted a flag in almost every populated part of the globe. He got a close look, too, at the places “beyond the end of telegraph cables and mail-boat lines,” and the hypocrisy of the west’s most cherished ideals. In a compelling blend of history, biography, and travelogue, Maya Jasanoff follows Conrad’s routes and the stories of his four greatest works—The Secret Agent, Lord Jim, Heart of Darkness, and Nostromo. Genre-bending, intellectually thrilling, and deeply humane, The Dawn Watch embarks on a spell-binding expedition into the dark heart of Conrad’s world—and through it to our own.

Book excerpt: Bomb-throwing assassins, political repression and revolt, emigre revolutionaries infiltrated by a government spy: much of Under Western Eyes is more topical than we would wish. Set in Czarist Russia and in Geneva, and told through the Western eyes of Conrad's English narrator, we are given a somber but not entirely pessimistic view of the human dilemmas which are born of oppression and violence. It is by common critical consent, one of Conrad's finest novels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kirylo Sidorovitch Razumov is a student in St. Petersburg, applying himself to his studies and harboring ambitions of rising in Russian society. But his plans are shattered when a fellow student, Victor Haldin, assassinates a high-ranking Russian minister before turning to Razumov for help. Razumov is deeply conflicted, but in the moment acts to preserve his own self-interest rather than assist his friend. Haldin had spoken to Razumov of his mother and sister, living in Geneva. As Razumov is recruited to spy for the Czarist government, he makes his way to Switzerland and meets Mrs. Haldin and the sister, Natalia. The women have been deeply affected by the loss of their son and brother, and Razumov’s presence in Geneva deepens their distress. Ultimately, Razumov himself must come to terms with his choices. The narrator in the novel is an Anglo-Russian language teacher, an older man who has been tutoring Natalia Haldin in English literature. His telling of the story draws both on his own eyewitness experience, and on Razumov’s journal which has come into his possession. Joseph Conrad’s 1920 preface to this work acknowledges its contemporary unpopularity. Subsequently, however, it has been widely acclaimed as perhaps his finest political novel, sharing something of the prescience shown in The Secret Agent, written four years earlier. Ambivalence among the book’s first readers may have had something to do with Conrad’s artistic choices for the narration and structure of the novel. His unnamed narrator, the somewhat intrusive “teacher of languages,” disavows facility with words and imagination, yet the story emerges from the perceptions of his “Western eyes.” Structurally, the storyline moves in a disordered chronology. Similarly, its often-intense dialogue somehow fails to establish a connection between the participants. Conrad’s exploration of stability and revolution, loyalty and betrayal, action and abstention, love and indifference, are all deepened by these unsettling techniques, demanding that the reader engage actively in the unfolding of this political and personal drama.
