Lord JimConrad's Eastern World

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren: JOSEPH CONRAD was born in Polish Ukraine on December 3, 1857, with the name Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski. Orphaned at the age of eleven, Conrad spent the remainder of his youth in Switzerland and Cracow before joining the French marines. In 1878, he enlisted in the British Merchant Navy. Following sixteen years of service, Conrad launched his literary career in England. He published many novels and stories, including Lord Jim (1900), Nostromo (1904), and most famously, The Heart of Darkness (1899), inspired by his steamboat voyage on the Congo River. Although English was his third language (after Polish and French), Conrad's rich and distinctive prose established him as one of England's greatest novelists. Conrad died on August 3, 1924, in Kent, England.

Thomas C. Moser was Professor of English at Stanford University. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard. In addition to publishing widely in professional journals, Professor Moser wrote Joseph Conrad: Achievement and Decline, and edited Wuthering Heights: Text, Sources, Criticism.
