Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) – Poland’s English genius – remains a puzzle for both his biographers and critics. He stands at the transitional stage of the later Victorian and the early modern novelists. Joseph Conrad used obliquely the stream of consciousness device in his narrative pattern to infer the working of the mind of the protagonist to the reader. His multiple-choice of narration constitutes the heart of his stories. The style chosen by him for delineating the characters is in great concord with his protagonist’s inherent search for self. As a non-native writer of English Joseph Conrad hardly feels sigh of language for revealing the pangs of heart, the psychological motives and the realistic patter of human behaviour. The present book has been divided into nine well-balanced chapters. Out of these nine except the two, introduction and the conclusion-seven are the core chapters which make an indebt study of the fictional art of Joseph Conrad. The motive behind these core chapter is to analyse the fictional art of Joseph Conrad for both the purposes: the artistic and the visionary perspectives. The author has tried his level best to present them in such a way as to give the maximum possible extents the aspects related to artistic and visionary approaches that are there in the fictional world of Joseph Conrad. Conrad skillfully makes use of the supernatural devices reveal the interior regions of human psyche. Sea as a symbol pulsates his stories reflecting the cycle of life. Conrad’s sea not mere an entity, it also lives in his novels, shapes the vision, and sketches the characters. The book in the present format will be useful to both the students and scholars alike.
