About adapting Conrad's prose to film
2021
On the example of Apocalypse Now by F. F. Coppola, Heart of Darkness by N. Roeg, The Duellists by R. Scott, The Shadow Line by A. Wajda, and Secret Sharer by P. Fudakowski, I would like to show that Joseph Conrad’s prose is a cinematic trap for film directors. This being so, I attempt to answer the question as to why it is so difficult to make a film of something that is so cinematic, when it is being read, and why film adaptations that closely follow Conrad’s narratives are less Conradian than films which are “merely” inspired by Conrad’s works.

Joseph Conrad-Korzeniowski, czyli polska dusza w literaturze angielskiej
2016
Joseph Conrad wniósł do literatury angielskiej prawdziwie polską duszę i fantazję. Ostatni z polskich romantyków, jak sam siebie nazwał, wprowadził do światowej literatury polskie dylematy, rozterki i wątpliwości, a także tęsknoty i pragnienia. Conrad przeniósł polskie doświadczenie na poziom uniwersalny i takim owo doświadczenie również uczynił. Rozmaite relacje współczesnych ukazują, jak niejednokrotnie trudno było odnaleźć się Polakowi w anglosaskiej rzeczywistości, i z jakimi przeciwnościami musiał się zmierzyć.
Conrad Andrzeja Buszy
2019
The article presents Professor Andrzej Busza, a Conradian researcher, who is connected with the subject of his research, Joseph Conrad, by common experiences of alienation and growing into a different culture, life on the border of different worlds. Busza presents Conrad’s Polish heritage and its later influence on the writer’s work. Busza writes about Conrad ’s deep pessimism, which links the writer with contemporary Poles, as well as about Conrad’s popularity during the war and occupation, when“ fidelity becomes the greatest of virtues, and betrayal - the greatest crime” . Busza also speaks of Conrad’s attitude to Flaubert and Dostoyevsky, which, being fuli of paradoxes and contradictions…
Essere donna: note sul pensiero pedagogico di Edith Stein e sulla sua amicizia con Hedwig Conrad-Martius
2018
At the beginning of the phenomenological movement, in the so-called "Circle of Monaco and Göttingen", the women students of Husserl played a not marginal role. They have led to the intention of going "to the things themselves" a specific light: the specificity of a feminine phenomenology can be traced in the eidetic interest, i.e. not naturalistic or empirical, for the theme of the structure of the human soul. In this context, the objective of these pages is to focus in particular on one aspect of Edith Stein's strictly pedagogical reflection on the structure of the person: the question about "own nature" and the "vocation" of women. It is considered in the light of her close friendship wit…
"Tajemny wspólnik" Josepha Conrada i "Tajemniczy sojusznik" Petera Fudakowskiego
2018
Although Peter Fudakowski's film is distinctly different from its literary original, and is not a faithful adaptation, it is very faithful to Conrad's message. It tells the story of the young captain; his increasing responsibility for his crew and his ship. Similarity of their (the writer and the filmmaker) memories and experience made Fudakowski understand and express Conrads message and interpret his prose in his own artistic way.
The role of Bishop Conrad of Querfurt in the actions of Emperor Henry VI Hohenstaufen in Southern Italy. In the shadow of a great European policy (Ge…
2019
Conrad of Querfurt (ca. 1160–1202) was one of the most important and influential German bishops at the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries. He was associated with the Hohenstaufen dynasty. As a result, he became the bishop of Hildesheim (1194–1199), and then the bishop of Würzburg (1198–1202), as well as served two German kings from that family as chancellor (1194–1201). Conrad of Querfurt was a man of extremely broad political horizons and great ambitions. It was not a coincidence that the title of chancellor, along with the governorship of the Norman kingdom, was given to him by Henry VI. He took great care of his public image, which he proved by sponsoring the work of Peter of Eboli, tit…
Heart of Darkness: una sesión de logoterapia
2012
Presentaremos cómo Joseph Conrad en Heart of Darkness, a través de la sucesiva aparición de personajes, nos mostrará la muerte y la enfermedad ligadas a la experiencia humana traumática. A través de un camino que lleva hacia el corazón de las tinieblas veremos como su obra parece una reivindicación del poder terapéutico de la palabra, la logoterapia. We will present how Heart of Darkness, the Joseph Conrad’s work, across the successive appearance of its main characters, will show us the death and the disease tied to the human traumatic experience. Across a way that goes towards the heart of darkness we will see how it seems to claim the therapeutic power of the word, the logo-therapy.
Leo Tolstoy’s and Joseph Conrad’s Relation to Music
2017
It is important to stress that Tolstoy’s and Conrad’s texts are to be understood to include not only literary, and thus verbal, texts but also elements of other media, such as music, theatre and visual arts. It should be noted that for Conrad music was also one of the arts that he greatly appreciated. Though Conrad’s main concern was to make us “see,” he was also concerned with making us “hear.” The use of music to accompany sexual desire, frustration and violence is a technique often used by the writer. Likewise, music had an enormous infl uence on Tolstoy. He was fascinated with its power, just as with the power of sexuality, beauty and war. His favourite composer was Chopin, but he also …
”Twixt Land and Sea” in Conrad's Youth: a Narrative and Two Other stories...
2017
The article aims at discussing the interdependence of the marine and the land spaces in Conrad’s works. Although they serve the same purpose—they constitute the background, and set the scene for Conrad’s tales, the marine space works quite frequently as a catalyst for human actions. The Youth: A Narrative and Two Other Stories volume is analysed in order to present the image of land and sea as created by the writer. Moreover, the voyage, the element joining the tales, will be considered from the perspective suggested by Juliet McLauchlan in her inspiring article Conrad’s ‘Three Ages of Man’: The ‘Youth’ Volume.
