Books by Joseph Conrad

Joseph Conrad (1857–1924), born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski in what is now Ukraine, was a Polish-British novelist who wrote in English, his third language. He spent nearly twenty years as a merchant seaman before turning to writing. Lord Jim, published in 1900, grew from a magazine serial into one of his most ambitious novels. His other major works include Heart of Darkness, Nostromo, The Secret Agent, and Under Western Eyes. He is considered a foundational figure in literary modernism, particularly for his innovations in narrative perspective and his sustained interest in moral psychology.
