Product Information
"Enlightening, compassionate, superb" --John Le Carr Winner of the 2018 Cundhill History Prize A New York Times Book Review Notable Book of 2017 One of the New York Times 100 Notable Books of 2017 A visionary exploration of the life and times of Joseph Conrad, his turbulent age of globalization and our own, from one of the most exciting young historians writing today Migration, terrorism, the tensions between global capitalism and nationalism, and a communications revolution: these forces shaped Joseph Conrad's destiny at the dawn of the twentieth century. In this brilliant new interpretation of one of the great voices in modern literature, Maya Jasanoff reveals Conrad as a prophet of globalization. As an immigrant from Poland to England, and in travels from Malaya to Congo to the Caribbean, Conrad navigated an interconnected world, and captured it in a literary oeuvre of extraordinary depth. His life story delivers a history of globalization from the inside out, and reflects powerfully on the aspirations and challenges of the modern world. Joseph Conrad was born J zef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski in 1857, to Polish parents in the Russian Empire. At sixteen he left the landlocked heart of Europe to become a sailor, and for the next twenty years travelled the world's oceans before settling permanently in England as an author. He saw the surging, competitive "new imperialism" that planted a flag in almost every populated part of the globe. He got a close look, too, at the places "beyond the end of telegraph cables and mail-boat lines," and the hypocrisy of the west's most cherished ideals. In a compelling blend of history, biography, and travelogue, Maya Jasanoff follows Conrad's routes and the stories of his four greatest works-- The Secret Agent , Lord Jim , Heart of Darkness , and Nostromo . Genre-bending, intellectually thrilling, and deeply humane, The Dawn Watch embarks on a spell-binding expedition into the dark heart of Conrad's world--and through it to our own.

Reviews
"Jasanoff has done her research on sea and land as well as in the archives, and her book is often thrilling to read as it travels the world with Conrad. An admirable and profoundly meditated biography, worthy of its subject." --Claire Tomalin "A book as beautiful as it is learned. Teeming with new discoveries, Jasanoff's The Dawn Watch is an astonishing tour of Conrad's world, from Krakw to Kinshasha, from London to Singapore. To read it is to be a stowaway in the hull of a ship sailing from Conrad's times to our own, as swift as the wind." --Jill Lepore "Like Sven Lindqvist's "Exterminate all the Brutes," The Dawn Watch lifts Conrad out of the "great tradition" of lit-crit to attempt something larger and more ambitious: demonstrating that his world is ours - and vice-versa. Maya Jasanoff is an eloquent historian and an erudite storyteller; she almost persuaded me to re-read Nostromo ." -- Geoff Dyer "Maya Jasanoff's masterpiece . . . one of the most important books on colonialism to be written in our time, and by one of our most brilliant young historians." --William Dalrymple, The Guardian " The Dawn Watch takes the reader seamlessly through Joseph Conrad's extraordinary life and voyages, showing us that our globalized world was fundamentally shaped in his lifetime a century ago--and that his pen still illuminates its beating heart. This is a wonder of a book that merges vivid travel, scholarly biography, and sharply observed history. Everyone searching for an understanding of our world today and the voice of one of the 20th century's most evocative writers should set sail with Maya Jasanoff." --Admiral James Stavridis, USN (Ret.), author of Sea Power, "Maya Jasanoff's masterpiece . . . one of the most important books on colonialism to be written in our time, and by one of our most brilliant young historians." --William Dalrymple, The Guardian " The Dawn Watch takes the reader seamlessly through Joseph Conrad's extraordinary life and voyages, showing us that our globalized world was fundamentally shaped in his lifetime a century ago--and that his pen still illuminates its beating heart. This is a wonder of a book that merges vivid travel, scholarly biography, and sharply observed history. Everyone searching for an understanding of our world today and the voice of one of the 20th century's most evocative writers should set sail with Maya Jasanoff." --Admiral James Stavridis, USN (Ret.), author of Sea Power, "A book as beautiful as it is learned.

To read it is to be a stowaway in the hull of a ship sailing from Conrad's times to our own, as swift as the wind." --Jill Lepore "In Dawn Watch , Maya Jasanoff has fashioned a singular craft for exploring the rapids and crosscurrents of a newly globalized era. The journey is intellectually exhilarating, and brings us to a richer understanding not only of Conrad's world but our own." --Kwame Anthony Appiah "Maya Jasanoff's masterpiece....one of the most important books on colonialism to be written in our time, and by one of our most brilliant young historians." -- William Dalrymple, The Gurdian "Like Sven Lindqvist's "Exterminate all the Brutes," The Dawn Watch lifts Conrad out of the "great tradition" of lit-crit to attempt something larger and more ambitious: demonstrating that his world is ours - and vice-versa. Maya Jasanoff is an eloquent historian and an erudite storyteller; she almost persuaded me to re-read Nostromo ." --Geoff Dyer "Jasanoff has done her research on sea and land as well as in the archives, and her book is often thrilling to read as it travels the world with Conrad. An admirable and profoundly meditated biography, worthy of its subject." --Claire Tomalin "A guided tour of the underside of empire, led by the fiction of Joseph Conrad and the erudition of Maya Jasanoff, The Dawn Watch is history, biography, and adventure story. Filled with fresh insights and information, it offers some timely lessons about the DNA of 'globalization.'" --Louis Menand "Enthralling - a major achievement, an unforgettable voyage, an historic circumnavigation of Conrad's whole life. I loved the big historical and intellectual panorama, Conrad sailing through the stormy history of maritime globalization and colonization, freshly framed, wonderfully researched and often angrily argued too. The whole book is constantly pierced by the most vivid and memorable close-ups, shafts of biographical sunlight through those dark historical storm-clouds. The section on Heart of Darkness , seems to me an absolute masterpiece. Historical narrative, literary analysis and complex post-colonial argument combined in the most thrilling way." --Richard Holmes "Written with all the immediacy of a fast-moving novel, yet also with all the acuity and scholarship one would expect from one of the most brilliant historians of her generation, The Dawn Watch gives us superb new insights into the mind and life of one of the greatest writers in the English tongue. The issues of which Joseph Conrad wrote with such penetrating prescience a century ago - terrorism, racism, interventionism, alienation - are the ones we worry about today, indeed perhaps more so now than at any time since he laid down his pen. This is the definitive biography, but also a fine work of literature in itself." --Professor Andrew Roberts, Lehrman Distinguished Lecturer at the New-York Historical Society " The Dawn Watch takes the reader seamlessly through Joseph Conrad's extraordinary life and voyages, showing us that our globalized world was fundamentally shaped in his lifetime a century ago--and that his pen still illuminates its beating heart. This is a wonder of a book that merges vivid travel, scholarly biography, and sharply observed history. Everyone searching for an understanding of our world today and the voice of one of the 20th century's most evocative writers should set sail with Maya Jasanoff." --Admiral James Stavridis, USN (Ret.), author of Sea Power, " The Dawn Watch takes the reader seamlessly through Joseph Conrad's extraordinary life and voyages, showing us that our globalized world was fundamentally shaped in his lifetime a century ago--and that his pen still illuminates its beating heart.
