“Being a woman is a terribly difficult task,
since it consists principally in dealing with men.”

~ Joseph Conrad
(1857-1924)



*Joseph Conrad

(born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski)

File:Joseph Conrad 1916.jpg From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaBorn: 3 December 1857 Berdychiv, Kiev Governorate, Russian Empire
Died: 3 August 1924 (aged 66) Bishopsbourne, 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 . 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.
