About the Author

Joseph Conrad (1857–1924) was a Polish-born British novelist and one of the greatest writers in the English language. Writing in his third language, Conrad produced a remarkable body of fiction distinguished by its psychological insight, moral complexity, and vivid depictions of life at sea and in distant lands. His major works include Lord Jim, Nostromo, The Secret Agent, Under Western Eyes, and Heart of Darkness. Through his exploration of imperialism, loyalty, isolation, and the ambiguities of human nature, Conrad profoundly influenced generations of writers, including T. S. Eliot, Graham Greene, and Ernest Hemingway.
