Joseph Conrad was born to Polish parents in Ukraine. He was educated and grew up in Poland. His most famous works were Heart of Darkness and Lord Jim, but he was also well regarded for his Almayer's Folly.
Book Review:Set in Malaya, Almayer`s Folly is the story of a man`s inability to escape his self-delusion and the tragedy that ensues.
Go Back to Cart
Book Review:This is the story of a sailing ship in storm and of the crew that manned her. Conrad himself called it `the story by which, as a creative artist, I stand or fall.
Book Review:This is a feel-good novel and Conrad's first commercial success. Daughter of a bankrupt tycoon comes good.
