Rreth autorit

Joseph Conrad (1857–1924) was a Polish-British writer whose maritime experiences deeply influenced his literature, imbuing it with a nautical authenticity and existential depth. Born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski in Berdychiv, then part of the Russian Empire, Conrad embarked on a seafaring career that would ultimately serve as the bedrock for his literary pursuits. Elevated to the status of a master prose stylist in the English language, Conrad became known for works that explore the complexities of the human psyche and the ambiguous moral dilemmas of life. His narrative style and anti-heroic characters have distinguished his works within the canon of Western literature. One of his notable works, 'Under Western Eyes' (1911), is a profound examination of political intrigue and moral confusion. Set in Russia and Switzerland, the novel navigates the tragic life of a young Russian student caught in the upheaval of revolutionary ideologies and espionage. Conrad's intricate plotting and psychological insight reflect his deep concern with the individual under the pressures of society and fate. His other acclaimed novels, such as 'Heart of Darkness' (1899) and 'Lord Jim' (1900), further showcase his thematic preoccupation with colonialism and the fallibility of mankind. Conrad's literary contribution and his unique perspective as a non-native English speaker who mastered and innovated the language, continue to be studied and revered in the literary world.
