There are few men who can truly be described as titans of literature. Joseph Contrad is one of them.
From humble beginnings as the son of a dissident in Poland, to a life of adventure in the far corners of the globe, to at last a dignified position as an elder statesman of the English literary community, Conrad's personal story is as compelling as his writing.
Joseph Conrad: The Masterworks hopes to provide a thorough survey of Conrad's work to a new generation of readers. Inside this volume are five of Conrad's best and most well-known works, including Typhoon, The Secret Sharer, and Heart of Darkness. Together, these offer the perfect introduction to Conrad, stories and characters that capture the human condition with a degree of technical and artistic mastery often imitated but never fully matched again.
