Tentang Penulis
Joseph Conrad, born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski on December 3, 1857, in Berdychiv, Ukraine, then part of the Russian Empire, is a literary giant whose works intersect the cusp of the 19th and 20th centuries. Conrad’s writings, often set against nautical backdrops, reflect his life as a mariner and have come to define modernist literature. His narrative style is replete with psychological depth and a unique perspective on the complexities of human nature and the impacts of colonialism. Notable among his extensive oeuvre is ‘Heart of Darkness, ‘ a harrowing critique of imperialism, and ‘Lord Jim, ‘ a study of guilt and redemption, both of which exhibit his characteristic themes of existentialism and moral ambiguity. Conrad’s intricate prose and storytelling have been compiled in the ‘Joseph Conrad Ultimate Collection: 18 Novels, 20+ Short Stories, Letters & Memoirs, ‘ serving as a testament to his mastery of the English language—an impressive feat for a writer whose first language was Polish. His influence extends beyond literature into the realms of philosophy and political thought, and his works remain seminal studies in the contradictions of the human spirit and the dark corners of civilization. Conrad’s death on August 3, 1924, marked the end of an era, but his profound impact on the landscape of modern literature endures.
