Autorenporträt
Joseph Conrad, born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski on December 3, 1857, in Berdychiv, Ukraine, then under the Russian Empire, was a master of English prose who brought to the literary canon a distinctive narrative style marked by his foreign roots and deep psychological insight. Conrad's early life was marked by personal tragedy and national upheavals, which shaped much of his world view and later writing. He joined the British merchant navy in 1878 and later became a British subject. His seafaring experiences subsequently permeated his literary work, which often explored themes of nature, the sea, and the individual's struggle with society and fate. Conrad's oeuvre includes novels, novellas, and short stories which are esteemed for their rich use of language and exploration of the human condition. 'Victory: An Island Tale' (1915) continues Conrad's exploration of isolation and moral struggle. Renowned for other works such as 'Heart of Darkness' (1899), 'Lord Jim' (1900), and 'Nostromo' (1904), Conrad's narrative style is both reflective and incisive, challenging readers to probe the depths of their own convictions and the abyss of the human psyche. Regarded as a precursor to modernist literature, Conrad's works engage with the complexities of imperialism, colonialism, and the psychological toll of the industrial age. His literary contributions earned him a place among the greatest novelists in the English language, despite it being his third language after Polish and French. Conrad passed away on August 3, 1924, but his influence endures both in literary scholarship and the broader cultural imaginary.
