1. Joseph Conrad

2. Joseph Conrad was born in 3 December 1857 in Berdyczów, Poland. Conrad is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in English .

3. In 1894 he moved to England. 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. 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 , Almayer's Folly . Conrad, an emotional man subject to fits of depression, self-doubt, and pessimism, disciplined his romantic temperament with an unsparing moral judgment.
