關於作者

Joseph Conrad, born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski on December 3, 1857, in Berdychiv, Ukraine, then part of the Russian Empire, was a renowned Polish-British writer whose narrative style and anti-heroic characters have left an indelible mark on the landscape of literature. Fluent in several languages, Conrad's early experiences in the French and British merchant navies served as a critical cornerstone for the vivid sea tales and explorations of the human psyche that comprised his literary canon. His command of English prose is remarkable, given that it was his third language, after Polish and French. Conrad's works often delve into the complexities of morality and human nature, emphasizing the struggles of individuals facing the immensity of the natural world and the intricacies of societal pressures. 'The Rover' (1923), one of his final novels, exemplifies this, presenting a compelling tale of a naval officer, Peyrol, who, after a lifetime of high seas adventure, seeks solace on pastoral French land near the end of his days. Often regarded for his masterpiece, 'Heart of Darkness' (1899), Conrad's narratives are marked by a rich, evocative style that continues to influence and challenge readers and scholars. He passed away on August 3, 1924, but his work endures as a significant contribution to the Western literary tradition. Conrad's exploration of imperialism, colonialism, and the individual's psychological depths have granted him a place among the pantheon of great literary figures.
