Joseph Conrad (born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski; 3 December 1857 – 3 August 1924) was a Polish-British writer regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. He was granted British nationality in 1886 but always considered himself a Pole. Though he did not speak English fluently until he was in his twenties (and always with a marked accent), he was a master prose stylist who brought a distinctly non-English sensibility into English literature. He wrote stories and novels, many with a nautical setting, that depict trials of the human spirit in the midst of an impassive, inscrutable universe.
Joseph Conrad is considered an early modernist, though his works still contain elements of nineteenth-century realism. His narrative style and anti-heroic characters have influenced many authors, including T. S. Eliot, William Faulkner,Graham Greene, and more recently Salman Rushdie. Many films have been adapted from, or inspired by, Conrad's works.
Writing in the heyday of the British Empire, Conrad drew on his native Poland's national experiences and on his personal experiences in the French and British merchant navies to create short stories and novels that reflect aspects of a European-dominated world, while profoundly exploring human psychology. Appreciated early on by literary critics, his fiction and nonfiction have since been seen as almost prophetic, in the light of subsequent national and international disasters of the 20th and 21st centuries.

HEART OF DARKNESS by Joseph Conrad - FULL AudioBook | Greatest Audio Books - Heart of Darkness is a novella written by Joseph Conrad. Before its 1903 publication, it appeared as a three-part series (1899) in Blackwood's Magazine. It was classified by the Modern Library website editors as one of the "100 best novels" and part of the Western canon. The story centres on Charles Marlow, who narrates most of the book. He is an Englishman who takes a foreign assignment from a Belgian trading company as a river-boat captain in Africa. Heart of Darkness exposes the dark side of European colonization while exploring the three levels of darkness that the protagonist, Marlow, encounters: the darkness of the Congo wilderness, the darkness of the Europeans' cruel treatment of the African natives, and t...

Is Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" a masterpiece of art? Or is it, as Chinua Achebe persuasively argues, a racist and deplorable book? What are we to make of Kurtz's dying words, "The horror! The horror!"? Could we read these words as his passing judgment on his own life? Can language even convey or communicate moral truths? Or are our ethical assertions only expressions of our personal attitudes? Are Kurtz and Marlow's dubious response to him fair portraits of moral subjectivism? Is the human heart, like nature itself, ultimately inscrutable?

Joseph Conrad - Mörkrets hjärta Mörkrets hjärta av Joseph Conrad brukar kallas den bästa korta roman som någonsin skrivits på engelska. Boken har inspirerat många, inte minst filmskapare. I den oförglömliga vietnamfilmen, Apocalyps Now, spelas den demoniske diktatorn och européen Kurtz i djungelns inre av Marlon Brando. Romanens berättare är sjöfararen och sjökaptenen Marlow. Han för befäl över en flodångare som har i uppdrag att segla upp för Kongofloden till det innersta av Afrika, till den belgiska handelsstation som ligger längst bort, längst in i mörkrets hjärta. Det är sent 1800-tal och dessa områden är vita fläckar på européernas världskarta. Här i det okända, befolkat av svarta, härskar den vita elfenbensjägaren Kurtz oinskränkt och sprider skräck och död omkring sig. Kurtz är me...
A classic of early literary modernism, Lord Jim tells the story of a young "simple and sensitive character" who loses his honor in a display of cowardice at sea -- and of his expiation of that sin against his own "shadowy ideal of conduct" on the remote island of Patusan. The novel, written by Conrad for magazine serialization during an intense and chaotic ten months in 1899 and 1900, has, in the words of Thomas C. Moser, "the rare distinction of being a masterpiece in two separate genres. It is at once an exotic adventure story of the Eastern seas in the popular tradition of Kipling and Stevenson and a complexly wrought 'art novel' in the tradition of Flaubert and James.
