Author

Joseph Conrad was a Polish-born British novelist and short story writer, who wrote in English, mainly about life on the sea. He is considered one of the greatest novelists in English, despite the fact that he only wrote three novels in his lifetime. His stories are often set in exotic locations, and are known for their psychological depth and dark atmosphere.
