Braving the Seas: The Swimmer Image in Conrad's Fiction
The purpose of this paper is to examine the recurrence of the image of a swimmer in the fiction of Joseph Conrad. The image appears at the key place of the narrative and constitutes its turning point. It functions in Conrad’s fiction in two forms: as a metaphor for individual struggle against destiny, and as a device of characterisation. In both forms the image constitutes an instrument of integration of Conrad’s works, which are otherwise widely different from one another in tone, texture, colouring and content.
