Fluent from birth in French as well as his native Polish, Joseph Conrad (1857–1924) learned his third language, English, as an adult. And it was in English that he wrote his evocative stories and novels, drawing upon his experiences in the British and French navies to portray the struggles of humanity amid the world’s vast indifference. This anthology offers readers the essential Joseph Conrad, including his debut novel, Almayer’s Folly. Other features include his political thriller, The Secret Agent, along with his most famous novel, Heart of Darkness, and a related account of an 1890 expedition, The Congo Diary. A selection of short stories includes "Youth: A Narrative, " "An Anarchist, " "An Outpost of Progress, " and "The Secret Sharer."
