Ugo Mursia, the publishing house that historically introduced the sea to Italians, will be returning to the Genoa International Boat Show. A return that on the centenary of the death of Joseph Conrad, considered by many the greatest maritime writer, takes on special significance because Ugo Mursia was among the greatest connoisseurs of the Anglo-Polish writer’s work.
Indeed, we owe much to Ugo Mursia, who collected original editions and critical literature on Conrad from an early age, in addition to the Scritti conradiani published in 1983, the translations of Typhoon (1959), Le sorelle. Unfinished Novel (1968) and the shorter novel Heart of Darkness (published in 1978 and which provided the inspiration for Francis Ford Coppola’s film Apocalypse Now) and the critical edition of Conrad’s entire oeuvre, published in five volumes between 1967 and 1982.
Ugo Mursia, with its heritage of more than 400 published titles and the most prestigious and complete European catalogue of books devoted to the sea and its protagonists, will be back at the Genoa International Boat Show with its latest titles while on 20th September, at its Stand SX01 in the Living the Sea area, enthusiasts will be able to meet the publishing house’s managers to propose their unpublished texts devoted to the world of navigation and the sea.
