Tentang pengarang

Joseph Conrad, born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski on December 3, 1857, in Berdychiv, Ukraine, was a Polish-British writer acclaimed for his contributions to English literature. Conrad's literary career blossomed in the English language, remarkable given that English was his third language after Polish and French. He became known for his narrative style and acute insights into human nature. Conrad's seafaring experiences deeply influenced his writings, imbuing them with a rich maritime atmosphere and exploring themes of existentialism and colonialism. His masterpieces, often embodying a complex moral landscape, include 'Heart of Darkness', 'Lord Jim', and 'Nostromo'. These works, along with others, are compiled in 'Greatest Works of Joseph Conrad'. 'Heart of Darkness' remains particularly notable for its profound commentary on imperialism and its psychological depth. Conrad's work is characterized by a skepticism of civilization and a pervasive sense of irony, leaving an indelible impact on the 20th-century fiction. His narrative techniques, combining non-linear progression with intricate character studies, have made him a forerunner in the modernist literary movement. Conrad's influence extends beyond literature, impacting arts and philosophy, and ensuring his legacy as a key figure in the transition between Victorian and modernist literature. He passed away on August 3, 1924, in Bishopsbourne, England, leaving behind a corpus that continues to be celebrated for its introspective sophistication and profound humanity.
