Joseph Conrad is regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language, despite not learning it until his twenties. Born in Poland, his early life as a merchant marine took him across the globe, from the African continent to the Malay Archipelago. This firsthand experience with the far reaches of the British Empire and the depths of the human soul profoundly shaped his masterful, psychologically complex novels, offering unparalleled insight into the struggles between civilization and savagery.
