Born to Polish parents in Russian-dominated Ukraine, Joseph Conrad led an extraordinary and adventurous life, much of which was spent at sea. This new biography charts his story, considering his writings in the light of his eventful experiences. Complementing Hesperus titles including The Return, A Smile of Fortune and The Tale this new book is an ideal introduction to the renowned and much-loved author of the twentieth-century masterpiece Heart of Darkness.

Paperback. Etat : New. "Joseph Conrad was born in the Ukraine in 1857. After finishing school he became a sailor, an experience that he would later draw upon in novels such as Hear of Darkness." "Gavin Griffiths traces the history of this intriguing man from his early childhood in Poland, through his exotic, arduous years at sea, to the final genteel respectability of marriage and life in England. This biography explores Conrad's extraordinary linguistic facility, distinct literary style and uncompromising attitude. It presents a compelling portrait of a writer whose cultural relevance, almost a century after his death, is undiminished."--BOOK JACKET. N° de réf. du vendeur 0045184
