About the author
Born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski in 1857, Joseph Conrad was a Polish-born writer who later settled in Britain and wrote in English. He spent many years in the French and British merchant marine before turning seriously to fiction, and that seafaring life gave his work its vivid settings and hard-earned realism.
Conrad is best known for works such as Heart of Darkness, Lord Jim, Nostromo, and The Secret Agent. His stories often place people under pressure—at sea, in remote colonies, or inside political intrigue—and ask what remains of loyalty, courage, and conscience when circumstances grow extreme.
Although English was not his first language, he became one of its most admired novelists. He died in 1924, but his influence has lasted well beyond his lifetime, especially through his psychological depth, intricate storytelling, and unforgettable atmosphere.
