作者简介
Joseph Conrad, born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski on December 3, 1857, in Berdychiv, Ukraine (then part of the Russian Empire), is a towering figure in English literature, despite English being his third language. Orphaned early, Conrad's tumultuous childhood was marked by political exile and the death of his parents, Polish patriots who opposed Russian rule. This early exposure to displacement and struggle profoundly influenced his worldview and literary themes.Conrad's seafaring career began at age 16, taking him across the globe and providing rich material for his novels and stories. His maritime experiences, particularly in the Congo, deeply shaped his narrative style and thematic concerns, often exploring the darkness within the human soul and the complexities of colonialism.Controversially, Conrad's works have been critiqued for their portrayal of race and imperialism, sparking debates about his perspectives on colonialism and his depiction of non-European characters. Despite this, his narrative techniques, such as unreliable narrators and non-linear storytelling, revolutionized modernist literature and influenced contemporaries like T.S. Eliot and later writers including William Faulkner and Gabriel García Márquez.Conrad's exploration of existential dread, moral ambiguity, and the human condition resonates with modern readers, offering a profound critique of the human experience. His ability to weave complex psychological landscapes with vivid, often harsh, realities of life at sea and in colonial territories ensures his enduring legacy in the literary canon.
