Description
At the age of 11, Jozef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski had already led an extraordinary life. Born in the Ukraine, to Polish patriot parents, the boy had endured a hazardous childhood of exile and oppression. Years later, after sailing the seas, he was to emerge as Joseph Conrad, Englishman and one of the world's greatest writers. This biography explores how Conrad's experiences of exile and his choice of career at sea shaped some of the major themes of his writing.
