Synopsis "El duelo (in Spanish)"

El argumento de esta pequeña pieza, la cual tuvo tres títulos (El duelo, Los duelistas, o Un asunto de honor, este último a sugerencia de su amigo Ford Madox Ford), nos lleva a las campañas napoleónicas entre 1801-1815. Más que centrarse exhaustivamente en el desarrollo militar de la época, el autor conduce su cámara hacia dos jóvenes oficiales.

Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) was a Polish-British writer known for his tales about the sea, colonialism, and the psychological struggles of individuals facing adversity. His work is characterized by the exploration of themes such as morality, despair, and the absurdity of human existence. Born in Ukraine, Conrad spent much of his life as a sailor before turning to writing, which significantly influenced his narrative style.

Among his most notable works are Heart of Darkness (1899), Lord Jim (1900), and Nostromo (1904). Although he did not receive major awards during his lifetime, his influence on 20th-century literature is undeniable, being considered a precursor of modern narrative.
