Autorenporträt
Joseph Conrad, born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski on December 3, 1857, in Berdychiv, Ukraine, then part of the Russian Empire, was a Polish-British writer acclaimed for his narrative style and deep psychological insights. Conrad is widely regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language, despite it being his third language, after Polish and French. His seafaring experiences deeply influenced his writing, as seen in one of his later works, 'The Shadow Line: A Confession' (1917), which reflects on his time at sea and explores themes of maturity and the passage between different stages of life. Other notable works include 'Heart of Darkness' (1899), 'Lord Jim' (1900), and 'Nostromo' (1904). Conrad's books often tackle complex moral and ethical questions, framed by his characteristically rich prose and intricate narrative structures. Due to his innovative literary techniques and exploration of the human condition, Conrad has left an indelible mark on the literary world, influencing generations of writers. He passed away on August 3, 1924, but his work continues to be highly regarded for its pioneering modernist style and incisive exploration of the themes of civilization, individualism, and colonialism.
