At the age of twenty, Jozef Teodor Konrad Nalecz Korzeniowski arrived in England unable to speak English. In sixteen years with the British Merchant Marine he not only mastered English but he rose form a deckhand to a captain. As Joseph Conrad, he went to become a successfull novelist in his adopted language.
Generally considered to be a teller of sea tales, he actually used the narrow confines of a ship to examine how society could cope with the forces of individual ego in the modern world.
Conrad's key works include "Heart of Darkness", "Lord Jim", and "Typhoon". Along with his well known works, Quiet Vision also brings you some of his lesser known writings.
