ABOUT THE AUTHOR




Joseph Conrad, a master of English literature, was born on December 3, 1857, in Berdichev, Ukraine, which was then part of the Russian Empire. His birth name was Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski. His early life was marked by tragedy when his parents, ardent Polish nationalists, were exiled to Russia.

Conrad began his seafaring career at a young age, which provided him with the experiences that would later influence his writing. He became a British subject in 1886 and adopted the name Joseph Conrad. He sailed to various parts of the world, including Africa and Southeast Asia, as a merchant mariner.

Conrad's literary career began later in life, and English was his third language after Polish and French. Despite this, he is renowned for his command of the English language. Some of his most famous works include "Heart of Darkness", "Lord Jim", and "Nostromo". These novels often explore themes of human nature, imperialism, and moral ambiguity.

"Heart of Darkness" is particularly celebrated for its exploration of the dark heart of colonialism in Africa. It continues to be studied and adapted into various forms of media.

Joseph Conrad passed away on August 3, 1924, in England. His writing legacy endures, with his novels regarded as classics of English literature, and his profound exploration of the human psyche and the consequences of imperialism continue to captivate readers worldwide.
