Resumen: Nostromo is the most anxious1y meditated of the longer novels which belong to the periad foUowing upon the publication of the Typhoon volume of short stories. I don't mean to say that 1 became then conscious of any impending change in my mentality and in my attitude towards the tasks of my writing life. And perhaps there was never any change, except in that mysterious, extraneous thing which has nothing to do with the theories of art; a subt1e change in the nature of the inspiration; a phenomenon for which I cannot in any way be held responsible. What, however, did cause me some concem was that after finishing the last story of the Typhoon volume it seemed somehow that there was nothing more in the world to write about.

Resumen: While Geoffrey Chaucer composed several magnificent works of poetry, his reputations as "the father of English literature" rests mainly on The Canterbury Tales, a group of stories told by an oddly assorted band of pilgrims en route to the shrine of Thomas à Becket in Canterbury Cathedral. From the mirthful and bawdy to the profoundly moral, the tales, taken in their entirety, reflect not only the manners and mores of medieval England, but, indeed, the full comic and tragic dimensions of the human condition.
