Joseph Conrad was a master mariner who spent twenty years sailing the world's oceans, commanding his own vessel and surviving the very tempests he so vividly depicts. Born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski in Poland, he adopted English as his third language and drew upon his direct experiences with the raw power of the sea and the complexities of human nature to become one of literature's greatest novelists. His life at sea gave his writing an unparalleled authenticity and psychological depth.
