Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COM-COR
CONRAD, JOSEPH (1856 ) ,
English
  novelist, was born in Poland, his full name having been Joseph
Conrad
  Korzeniowski. He learnt French in infancy, but did not learn
English
  until he was nearly twenty. At
Constantinople
 , where he had gone with the intention of joining the Russians against the Turks, he joined the French merchant navy. Later on he found his way to
Lowestoft
  in England, and, after obtaining his
mate
 's certificate, he sailed for the
East
  in an English ship. The story of this voyage is told in Youth, and other Tales (1902). His
chief
  other volumes are Almayer's Folly (1895), An Outcast of the Islands (1896), The Nigger of the
Narcissus
  (1897), Tales of Unrest (1898), Lord Jim (19oo), Typhoon (1903), The
Mirror
  of, the Sea (1906), and, with F. M. Hueffer, Romance (1903). All these are remarkable for their vigorous English style, and the vivid description of exotic scenes; the author being especially successful in tracing the effects of tropical surroundings and the contact with Asiatics on
European
  sailors and traders. His play One Day More was produced by the Stage Society in June 1905.
