UK / Poland: Joseph Conrad, born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski (1857-1924) arriving in New York by ship,1920

Joseph Conrad (born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski; 3 December 1857 Berdichev, Ukraine – 3 August 1924) was a Polish novelist who wrote in English, after settling in England. Conrad is regarded as one of the great novelists in English, although he did not speak the language fluently until he was in his twenties (and then always with a marked Polish accent). He wrote stories and novels, predominantly with a nautical setting, that depict trials of the human spirit by the demands of duty and honour. Conrad was a master prose stylist who brought a distinctly non-English tragic sensibility into English literature. While some of his works have a strain of romanticism, he is viewed as a precursor of modernist literature. His narrative style and anti-heroic characters have influenced many authors. Films have been adapted from or inspired by Conrad's Victory, Lord Jim, The Secret Agent, An Outcast of the Islands, The Rover, The Shadow Line, The Duel, Heart of Darkness, Nostromo, and Almayer's Folly. Writing in the heyday of the British Empire, Conrad drew upon his experiences in the French and later the British Merchant Navy to create short stories and novels that reflect aspects of a worldwide empire while also plumbing the depths of the human soul.

UK / Poland: Joseph Conrad, born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski (1857-1924) arriving in New York by ship,1920
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Joseph Conrad (nacido Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski; 3 de diciembre de 1857 en Berdichev, Ucrania - 3 de agosto de 1924) fue un novelista polaco que escribió en inglés, después de establecerse en Inglaterra. Conrad está considerado como uno de los grandes novelistas en inglés, aunque no habló el idioma con fluidez hasta los veinte años (y entonces siempre con un marcado acento polaco). Escribió cuentos y novelas, predominantemente de ambientación náutica, que describen las pruebas del espíritu humano por las exigencias del deber y el honor. Conrad fue un maestro estilista de la prosa que aportó a la literatura inglesa una sensibilidad trágica claramente no inglesa. Si bien algunas de sus obras tienen un toque de romanticismo, se le considera un precursor de la literatura modernista. Su estilo narrativo y sus personajes antiheroicos han influido en muchos autores. Las películas han sido adaptadas o inspiradas en Conrad's Victory, Lord Jim, The Secret Agent, An Outcast of the Islands, The Rover, The Shadow Line, The Duel, Heart of Darkness, Nostromo y Almayer's Folly. Escribiendo en el apogeo del Imperio Británico, Conrad se basó en sus experiencias en la Marina Mercante francesa y más tarde en la Británica para crear cuentos y novelas que reflejan aspectos de un imperio mundial y al mismo tiempo sondean las profundidades del alma humana.
