In 1886 he obtained British nationality, before leaving the sea eight years later to devote himself to writing. He published his first novel,Almayer's Folly, in 1895, and produced within fifteen years such astounding works asYouth, Heart of Darkness, Lord Jim, Typhoon, Nostromo, Under Western EyesandVictory. He continued to write until his death in 1924.

Recenzii

"Perenially fascinating... When Joseph Conrad wrote The Secret Agent he was responding imaginatively to a real botched bomb attack on Greenwich, at a time when there was real panic about anarchist extremism throughout Europe" Guardian "An astonishing book" -- Ford Madox Ford "This damp, dark thriller dances about on satirical feet, from its opening paragraph to the very last, where it suddenly plunges like Chernobyl's core to our own apocalyptic times, seamed with petit-bourgeois envy and crazed fundamentalist dreams. Whether attacking the former or the latter, Conrad never lets go of his grim, twitchy smile." -- Adam Thorpe Guardian "One of the two unquestionable classics of the first order that [Conrad] added to the English novel" -- F.R. Leavis
