SOBRE O AUTOR

Joseph Conrad

Joseph Conrad, aliás Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, nasce na Ucrânia em 1857, em plena autocracia dos Czars. Filho de um casal polaco no exílio, fica órfão muito cedo. É criado e educado pelo tio, o responsável por aquela que seria a paixão central da sua vida: o mar. Viaja para Marselha em 1874, prestando serviço a bordo de navios mercantes franceses antes de finalmente se juntar à tripulação de um navio inglês, no ano de 1878. Em 1886 obtém nacionalidade britânica e o Certificado de Mestre no Serviço Mercantil Britânico. Oito anos mais tarde abandona o mar para se dedicar à escrita, publicando o seu primeiro romance - 'Almayer's Folly', em 1895. Continua a escrever e a publicar até à data da sua morte em 1924. Conrad é autor, entre outras obras, de Lord Jim (1900), Nostromo (1904), The Secret Agent (1907), Under Western Eyes (1911), Heart of Darkness, Coração das Trevas, 1902). É hoje considerado um dos maiores escritores de ficção em inglês, a sua terceira língua.
