About the author
Joseph Conrad (1857 – 1924) was a Polish author who wrote in English. A feat made even more remarkable when we consider that he was not even fluent in English until he was in his twenties — and even then he spoke with a heavy Polish accent. Conrad always thought of himself as a Pole, but since he was writing in English the literary world regarded him as a great English author — reportedly to his consternation. He was granted British nationality in 1886 when he was 28.
