Description
Under Western Eyes, written by Joseph Conrad and published in 1911, is a profound exploration of political turmoil, identity, and moral ambiguity. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Russia, the narrative follows the story of Razumov, a young student caught between his political ideals and the oppressive realities of his environment. After unwittingly getting involved in a revolutionary conspiracy, he grapples with themes of betrayal and the search for personal integrity. Conrad’s intricate prose vividly captures the psychological depth of his characters, while also critiquing Western perceptions of Russia. The novel delves into the complexities of loyalty and the impact of socio-political upheaval on the individual. Through its dense symbolism and nuanced storytelling, Under Western Eyes challenges readers to reflect on the consequences of ideology and the often blurred lines between good and evil. Conrad's work remains a compelling and thought-provoking examination of human existence in times of crisis.
