“Let them think what they liked, but I didn't mean to drown myself. I meant to swim till I sank -- but that's not the same thing.”
- Joseph Conrad, born 3 December 1857.
Influential Polish author who wrote in English after settling in England. He wrote stories and novels, often with a nautical setting, that depict trials of the human spirit in the midst of an indifferent universe. He was a master prose stylist who brought a distinctly non-English tragic sensibility into English literature. His best known works include Heart of Darkness (1899), Lord Jim (1900), Nostromo (1904), and Under Western Eyes (1911).
