• • Rare illustration of JOSEPH CONRAD sketched from a photograph in 1933. This portrait is picturing the late author as he looked around 1924 when he was 67 years old and in England.
• • Joseph Conrad [3 December 1857 — 3 August 1924] was a Polish-born British novelist, who became a British subject in 1886.
• • He is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in English, though he did not speak the language fluently until he was in his twenties (and then always with a marked Polish accent). He wrote stories and novels, predominantly with a nautical or seaboard setting, that depict trials of the human spirit by the demands of duty and honor.
• • Conrad was a master prose stylist who brought a distinctly non-English tragic sensibility to English literature. His narrative style and anti-heroic characters influenced many authors.
• • Films have been adapted from, or inspired by, Joseph Conrad's writing: Victory, Lord Jim, The Secret Agent, An Outcast of the Islands, The Rover, The Shadow Line, The Duel, Heart of Darkness, and Nostromo.
• • Except for several vacations in France and Italy, a 1914 journey to his native Poland, and a 1923 visit to the USA, Conrad lived out the rest of his life in England.
