註釋
Those who read me know my conviction that the world, the temporal world, rests on a few very simple ideas; so simple that they must be as old as the hills. It rests notably, amongst others, on the idea of Fidelity - Joseph Conrad
Written at various times, under various influences, the four stories contained in
Within the Tides
are linked by Conrad's treatment of loyalty and betrayal. They range in setting from the Far East via eighteenth-century Spain to England. The tone shifts from the tragic inevitability of
The Planter of Malata
and the pathos of
Because of the Dollars
to the gothic
The Inn of the Two Witches
and the grim humour of
The Partner
. The form of the stories was experimental but does not obscure Conrad's humanity or his search for moral truth.
