Over de auteur

Joseph Conrad (born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski ) was a Polish-born English novelist who today is most famous for Heart of Darkness, his fictionalized account of Colonial Africa.

He was made a Master Mariner, and served more than sixteen years before an event inspired him to try his hand at writing.
