About the author

Born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski in 1857, he was of Polish background and spent years working as a sailor before becoming a British subject. Those voyages gave him firsthand knowledge of ships, ports, and isolation, and that experience shaped much of his fiction.

He began writing in English as an adult and went on to become one of the language’s most admired novelists. His major works include Almayer’s Folly, The Nigger of the "Narcissus", Lord Jim, Nostromo, The Secret Agent, and Heart of Darkness.

His books often explore loyalty, guilt, imperial power, and the strain of extreme situations. Even now, readers return to his work for its tense storytelling, psychological depth, and the way it turns travel and adventure into something darker and more searching.
