Synopsis "Un Puesto Avanzado del Progreso"

Complemented with blunt, stark illustrations that capture the oppressive mood of the story, this translation of Joseph Conrad’s short story "An Outpost of Progress" relates the story of Kayerts and Carlier, two European men assigned to a remote trading post in an African jungle. Lacking any concrete tasks or sense of purpose, the men become increasingly isolated and desperate over time—until the story erupts in violence. Conrad’s bleak narrative cogently describes the fragility of the human body and mind as it rails against the philanthropic hypocrisy of colonialism and examines the imperfection of human language, the sterility of human effort, and the improbability of redemption.Complementado por ilustraciones directas y austeras que capturan el tono opresivo de la historia, esta traducción del cuento corto de Joseph Conrad "Un puesto avanzado del progreso" relata la historia de Kayerts y Carlier, dos europeos asignados a un puesto mercantil en plena jungla africana. Careciendo de responsabilidades concretas o algún propósito específico, los hombres se van poniendo cada vez más aislados y desesperados, hasta que la historia estalla en violencia. La narrativa funesta de Conrad describe claramente la fragilidad del cuerpo y de la mente humana mientras denuncia la hipocresía filantrópica del colonialismo y examine la imperfección del lenguaje humano, la esterilidad del afán y la improbabilidad de la redención.
