约瑟夫·康拉德
  約瑟夫.康拉德,Joseph Conrad,於1857年12月3日出生在當時由沙俄統治的波蘭烏蘭地區。其父母是熱血的波蘭愛國者,因參加民族獨立運動被沙俄政府流放,10歲時,他在父母死由好心的母舅撫養,在拉科夫成長。
  
  1874年他前往馬賽,在一艘法國商船上工作。這標志着康拉德航海的始。其,他在海上生活達20年,其閱及全世界的許多具有異域風情的地方。
  
  1878年,康拉德加入英國的商船隊,且開始學習英語,在船隊的服務中,他得到穩步的提升,於1886年加入英國籍。在前往剛果的災難性航行中所獲得的經給康拉德留下極深刻的印象,構成他的小說《黑暗之心》(1902)的大背景。
  
  有於與他同時代的作,康拉德的小說喜歡寫孤獨的主人公,讓筆鋒集中描述個的人物及其遭遇到的難題;他筆下的熱帶和叢林地帶背景中的人物更顯得形單影,這效果是其它背景所絶難達到的。許多人認為,在探索有關生存的惑、生存的潛意識及生存意義的喪失一類主方面,康拉德是20世紀小說的先驅者。無疑,康拉德以小說的形式在更為具化的層上譴責歐洲殖義者的貪婪與殘酷。
  
  康拉德逝世於1924年8月3日。


  Joseph Conrad (born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski; 3 December 1857 – 3 August 1924) was a Polish-born British novelist, who became a British subject in 1886.
  
  He is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in English, though he did not speak the language fluently until he was in his twenties (and then always with a marked Polish accent). He wrote stories and novels, predominantly with a nautical or seaboard setting, that depict trials of the human spirit by the demands of duty and honor.
  
  Conrad was a master prose stylist who brought a distinctly non-English tragic sensibility into English literature. While some of his works have a strain of romanticism, he is viewed as a precursor of modernist literature. His narrative style and anti-heroic characters have influenced many authors.
  
  Films have been adapted from or inspired by Conrad's Victory, Lord Jim, The Secret Agent, An Outcast of the Islands, The Rover, The Shadow Line, The Duel, Heart of Darkness, and Nostromo.
  
  Writing in the heyday of the British Empire, Conrad drew upon his experiences in the French and later the British Merchant Navy to create short stories and novels that reflect aspects of a worldwide empire while also plumbing the depths of the human soul.
