Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) was a British writer, best known for his works "Lord Jim" and "Heart of Darkness". Of Polish origin, Conrad, who settled in England, was considered one of the most important authors of the English language. "Lord Jim", Conrad's major work, alongside "Heart of Darkness", definitively established the author as one of the greats of English literature. His influence is profound and continues to this day. Written in 1900, "Lord Jim" describes thrilling adventures in the strange and exotic landscapes of Malaysia, inhabited by primitive peoples and where adventurers take advantage of the natives to satisfy their greed. "Lord Jim" is a remarkable book and an unforgettable read.
