Joseph Conrad (1857–1924) was an English novelist and short-story writer of Polish descent. He is best known for writing the novels Lord Jim (1900), Nostromo (1904), and The Secret Agent (1907) and for the novella Heart of Darkness (1902). Conrad’s work was marked by a fascination with the individual when faced with nature’s invariable unconcern, humanity’s frequent malevolence, and inner battles with good and evil.
