Tales of Unrest

Více o knize

Joseph Conrad, a Polish-born novelist, is celebrated for his significant contributions to English literature despite mastering the language later in life. His works often feature anti-heroic characters and a unique narrative style that paved the way for modernist literature. Drawing from his experiences in the British Merchant Navy, he explored themes of imperialism and the complexities of the human psyche. Notable works include Heart of Darkness and Lord Jim, which reflect both the grandeur and moral ambiguities of a global empire.
