This article discusses Antonio Candido’s reading of Joseph Conrad’s “The Secret Sharer” and Lord Jim, based on what the critic argues are their most telling themes (“isolation, the occasion, the surprised man”) and on how the configuration of “the human being in a state of crisis” is projected on the form of the short story and the novel. His analysis and interpretation provide productive clues to read Heart of Darkness, another central work by the Polish-British author.
